    About Joan S.

    5.0
    (1)
    I am most interested in teaching Kundalini Yoga. It balances the glandular system and strengthens the nervous. It is sooo very effective in managing stress! I struggled with math as a child but asked for tutoring in Junior High and I was able to overcome my difficulties. I even got a degree in a math related field and had a very lucrative career designing and programming computerized accounting systems. I know first hand that a difficult subject area for a student can become their greatest strength. I learned to knit at the age of five and to sew at the age of twelve. I had a Halloween costume business for several years. I now spend a bit of my time each day making quilts. I host international students so I have several years of experience working with students on improving their English skills.

    I really enjoy spending the day with a group of young children. They are so eager to show a new person all of the new things that they are learning. I just love recognizing each student for what is special and unique in them. I feel that my job for the day is to uplift each student and the group as a whole.
