Why I Love to Teach

I love teaching…it’s the best job in the world! Just to be a part of helping students discover what achievements, big or small, they can make every single day is just so fulfilling! I love seeing the joy on someones face when they make the ‘impossible' becomes possible!

Helen Conway

Modern, Tap and DDE Tutor

I have always had a passion for dance and to be able to pass on this passion to my students is an absolute privilege. To be able to witness a young person’s progress – however small – is very fulfilling. I love seeing my students grow and improve from week to week and if they leave the class with a smile I know I have done my job.

Judith Koppenleitner

Ballet and DDE Tutor

I love seeing the students develop and grow. It’s especially rewarding when they overcome a particular struggle or hurdle. I also love that teaching means that I constantly assess and develop my own skills and practice. It keeps me on my toes!

Vanessa Havell

Year 2 Tutor – Acting Tutor

Working with determined, passionate people has always driven me to continue improving the manner in which I work with others. I still shy away from calling myself a "teacher" - I believe there is still much to learn and experience before taking on such a title.

Alexzandra Sarmiento

Choreographer and Dance Tutor

We support, mentor, inspire and get the chance to discover and share some of the best parts of ourselves as people. At the end of every lesson not only have we imparted some of our knowledge, we also learn something for ourselves.

Jack Butterworth

I teach because I love to see growth and watch someone's journey unfold. Teaching is essential to a lasting career. Teaching is planting the initial seeds and watching students grow into the biggest and most fruitful trees in the forest.
