What I love about teaching: I love creating relationships with the kids I teach. Having a good relationship makes swim lessons more enjoyable and facilitates progress in the lessons. Additionally, I love watching kids become more confident in the water. Watching a student make progress is always exciting.
What I love teaching: I love to teach kids that are learning to swim for the first time and may not be completely comfortable in the water yet. I also love to teach stroke improvement to those who want to refine their skills more (especially on front stroke, backstroke, breaststroke, and elementary backstroke).
