EDUCATIOn

Korama Danquah has been working in the field of education since she was at Brown University. During her junior year, she had the opportunity to teach in Providence public schools as part of the course work for her class “Literacy, Community, and the Arts: Theory into Practice.” Also while at Brown, she taught improv comedy to high school attendees of the Summer@Brown program and was a mentor to high school students in the Theatrebridge Summer Program - a six week intensive acting program.

After graduation, she started working with the youth-oriented nonprofit Manifest Your Destiny Foundation. At MYD Korama was responsible for planning programming for the Foundation’s monthly Saturday Empowerment Activities as well as the annual weeklong day camp, Summer Empowerment Academy.

While working at MYD, she started a free tutoring program in conjunction with the Los Angeles Public Library.

After leaving Manifest Your Destiny, Korama focused more on tutoring, doing freelance subject tutoring and working with a tutoring company as an SAT Tutor and College Essay Consultant.

Korama wanted to find a way to combine her love of the creative arts and her love of teaching. This is when she started working as a Creative Writing Instructor at Writopia Lab. During her nine years with the nonprofit organization, she taught hundreds of kids through a combination of weekly group workshops, semi-private workshops, private students, summer day camps, and WriCampia, the annual sleepaway summer camp that Writopia hosts.

Whether the task is something fun, like writing a screenplay, or something fundamental, like structuring a sentence, Korama is the woman for the job.
