Michele: Lakewood tutor
Certified Tutor
As a passionate educator with a Master's in Visual Art Education from Pratt Institute and a current Doctoral Candidate, I have dedicated over 20 years to fostering creativity and critical thinking in students across various age groups, from pre-K to college. My teaching philosophy centers on a student-centered approach that prioritizes individualized learning experiences, recognizing that each student has unique needs and learning styles. I strive to create an engaging environment where students feel empowered to explore their artistic potential, integrating subjects like science and history into art lessons to illustrate the interconnectedness of knowledge. My commitment to professional development extends to mentoring fellow educators and leading workshops across 30 schools, ensuring that the arts remain a vital component of education. I believe in the power of art to inspire, and I am excited to help students not only achieve their artistic goals but also build confidence and resilience through the creative process.
