I have been teaching really since I was 14 with my first work permit as a ski instructor at Blue Mountain for the Ski Wee Program!  But, I have been working with students using the same instructional design principles my Advisor taught me in 1997.  I was fortunate enough to study under many great teachers and leaders in the field.  I have formally studied learning for over  20 years.  My master's thesis looked deeply into outcomes of practicing skills.  

What parents appreciate most about Smart Spot is how I get kids to master skills in a fun, motivating AND efficient manner. Twice at a first class, a mom and dad said we were watching everything you did, because THAT was amazing. 

To me, what is amazing is how doing a few things during instruction with intention can make a kid perform their best and smile true joy out of pride! 

The greatest gift is to see when a student smiles because when they beat a goal they were reminded they ARE SMART!  ...And each time they do that they reshape their path.
