Hello! My name is Cynthia Amoah and I am a spoken word artist and educator. I completed my Masters in Fine Arts at The New School in NYC and have been featured on the stages of TEDxDrewUniversity and TEDxOhioStateUniversity, to name a few. I began my teaching career in graduate school when I was selected to work with a group of inner city middle school children who exhibited advanced creative abilities and talents. From there, I went on to gain hands-on experience working with a program that assists a high population of international college students to better clarify their English-speaking skills. Outside of the classroom, I also run informative creative writing workshops for high school students and/or adults looking to learn more about creative writing. As a result, my experience has afforded me the opportunity to teach students at varied ages and learning capacities. Being a teaching artist is an asset that makes my classes unique. I like to integrate much of my performance and artist experience into my courses, whether it's adjusting to your student's needs, asking key questions that will motivate them, and inspiring change within them. I plan on contributing to the educational world by teaching the tools that empowered me to find my exact voice: creative writing and performance. I love to teach different areas of creative writing, personal development, public speaking, mindfulness and life skills. When not found teaching, writing or performing, I enjoy eating wheat thins and traveling the world where the "moody weather" of Ohio cannot find me! :) Please visit www.cynthiaamoah.com for more information!
