Übungsleiterin Im Kinderturnen

TSV Schilksee
05.2021 - 04.2023

I worked with groups of 5 to 15 children ages infant through school aged in a community setting, helping them to learn and perform movement tasks. Through movement, play, song, and games the children increased their mobility, gained confidence in their own bodies and minds, and learned songs and games as a group.


I worked closely with parents and other movement coaches as a team to provide each child with the tools and obstacles they needed to personally improve and thrive in their environment.


I participated in regular advanced training courses and workshops to better my skills and understanding of child development and movement.


I taught all classes strictly in German to German native speakers.
