Drama major with many years of experience working with children of all ages offers acting classes

Bernadette is a wonderful, caring and kind person. She genuinely loves children and brings out the best in them.

Bernadette was able to reach my daughter on a very personal level. Two days per week, she spent teaching to suit the needs of my child as well as acknowledging the best way she receives information. It's such a skill to teach someone in such a specific way. Miss Bernadette was the kindest person that I've meet and shares a special bond with children who need support. Hands down, I know she is capable of meeting the needs of any child she works with.

Bernadette is a lovely, kind woman who helped me manage a non-profit, young girls group ages eight through to fourteen. When I was going to develop a drama group with my girl group, I asked around our parish who would be best for this project. Hands down, Bernadette was always the first one people suggested. I had the pleasure to work with Bernadette for 8 months this past school year. Bernadette was responsible for teaching the girls drama skills. She was the leader of this sub group and had one adult assistant. Not once did I have a complaint against Bernadette. In fact all the girls and parents enjoyed working with her and they wanted more. In fact, I had one teenage girl who was terrified to act. Her mother begged me to have her daughter not participate. I asked this young lady if she wouldn't mind observing what her peers were learning. The young lady consented and I made Bernadette aware of the situation. Come performance time this young lady was the leading role in the skit and was the star. She was very pleased with her accomplishment. I was so proud what Bernadette was able to do for this very shy young lady. Most of my 55 girls are eager to have Bernadette help them again next school year. I think whoever hires Bernadette would be very satisfied with her help.

Great tutor, very competent and knowledgeable.

I have known Bernadette for over 6 months while she came to our residence in Renton to give art and music lessons to my 3-year-old son, Y. She worked her magic and was able to capture my 3 year old's interest and attention in no time. He had been struggling to sit still during his circle time at school, but Bernadette with her infinite patience, care and love was able to have him stay in his chair and engage in various art projects while playing classical music in the background during the entire 2-hour session each day. After a few sessions with Bernadette, Y.'s once plain playroom wall was covered with artwork of varying themes, thanks to her creativity. She worked with Y. and created laminated sheets with musical notes, played a variety of musical instruments from a trumpet to maracas and spurred my son's interest in music. Y. bonded so well with Mrs. C and would eagerly look forward to her visits.

She is compassionate, kind and patient! My son was very sad to hear she was moving. She has made a big impact on my sons confidence with reading and school in general. She will be greatly missed by our family.
