SwimSwim lessons with Tessa M.

My name is Tessa, and I love to teach swimming lessons! I've been working in aquatics (as a lifeguard and swim instructor) since 2017. Over that time, I've taught in many different locations and with many different programs, which has allowed me to distill methods that actually work and adapt them into my own teaching style. In my work, I focus on emphasizing kindness and connection with my students. I believe that learning is only possible in a space of mutual trust, where I am able to safely introduce new challenges and my students feel confident enough to rise to meet each one. My goal in every lesson is for my student(s) to be able to mark some kind of measurable progress. This approach consistently made me one of the most highly requested and highly respected instructors in my years of teaching at different private clubs. In addition to this, though, I am also very experienced with and knowledgeable about the wider world of aquatics. Whether you're looking to get your little ones comfortable in water, training for a safe family vacation, learning new skills as an adult, or even aiming to transition into formal swimming levels, I can help and offer advice along the way. I look forward to meeting you!
