Konversation with Sarah Allmon: Choir Teacher, World Traveler, Language Lover, and Fashionista
Konversai is starting a “Konversations” series as part of our blog where we conduct interviews with our users and learn more about who they are and what they do, both on and off Konversai. This week, we interviewed Sarah Allmon (brzyskis), a middle school choir teacher living in Grand Rapids, MI. On Konversai, Sarah offers sessions on baking, beauty and style, dance fitness, Spanish, singing, and travel in Spain. Keep reading to learn more about Sarah’s talent, creativity, and passion!
Konversai: What does a typical day look like for you? This could include at work and/or outside of work.
Sarah: Well, as a middle school choir teacher, I usually wake up at 5 AM, go to the gym, get ready, and I’m at school by 6:45 AM. I teach five sections of choir until 2:45 PM and then head home. From then until I go to bed, my evenings often change. Several days a week, I teach a dance fitness class on Konversai. I also take voice lessons once a week and sing in the Grand Rapids Women’s Chorus. My sister and I also have a fashion blog together. I have quite a few interests and love to explore them all!
Konversai: How did you end up where you are today?
Sarah: This is my second year on the west side of Michigan. I graduated from Michigan State University two years ago and fell in love with Grand Rapids. My husband and I were lucky enough to find teaching jobs on this side of the state, and we are loving all that Grand Rapids has to offer to a pair of newlyweds!
Konversai: What is your favorite thing about what you do?
Sarah: My favorite thing about what I do is that I get to incorporate all of my interests while teaching kids! I love dancing, moving, and being creative, and being a choir teacher lets me do all of that!
Konversai: How did you decide to offer the sessions you I offer on Konversai?
Sarah: I have experience as a voice teacher, fitness instructor, world traveler, and fashionista! I wanted to share all of the things that I am passionate about with other people all over the world!
Konversai: Do you have a favorite session on Konversai? If so, what is it, and why?
Sarah: I really enjoy sharing my Spanish language knowledge through my Spanish lessons as well as helping people reach their fitness goals through dance fitness! I love working one on one with people in these areas. I also love seeing the goals they accomplish after several lessons, which is why these are my favorite sessions to teach.
Konversai: What do you like best about being a provider on Konversai?
Sarah: I love helping people accomplish their goals. I also love getting to know new people all over the world and learning that we all have a lot more in common than we thought!
Konversai: Are there additional sessions you are hoping to offer on Konversai in the future?
Sarah: I would love to offer a session on building a website and starting a blog. These are both things that I did on my own with no prior experience, and I would love to help other people take on these tasks!
Konversai: Why would you encourage a user to book a session with you?
Sarah: My dance fitness classes offer the opportunity to work one on one to improve fitness and dance skills and to have fun in the comfort of your home! Sometimes it’s hard to get out to the gym, so I love offering people the opportunity to take a one-on-one fitness session online!
Konversai: Are there sessions that you are excited about taking with other providers on the platform? Which ones? What are you hoping to learn more about?
Sarah: I love learning languages and would love to try some Italian or Japanese lessons on Konversai!
Konversai: What advice would you give to potential users who are looking to join the platform? What about specifically for other users who are offering sessions similar to yours?
Sarah: I would tell people to go ahead and try it! I joined Konversai one day thinking, “Why not?” It now has helped earn a side income and given me experience teaching the topics that I am passionate about. For other people offering language sessions and fitness instruction, I think it is very important to be personable and to tailor your lessons to the needs of the individual seeking to learn. That will keep people coming back!
Konversai: What do you enjoy doing outside of work and Konversing?
Sarah: I love to cook, shop, study languages, travel, and sing!
