I am a certified elementary teacher with over 12 years of classroom experience. I hold an Ontario teaching certification, which is comparable to U.S. licensure, and have spent my career supporting students in reading, writing, and mathematics. Throughout my teaching experience, I have worked with a wide range of learners, including students who need extra support, those working below grade level, and those looking to strengthen their skills and confidence.
In both classroom and small-group settings, I focus on building a strong foundation while making learning clear and manageable. I break down concepts into simple, step-by-step strategies and use targeted practice to help students truly understand what they are learning, rather than just memorizing. In literacy, I support students with reading comprehension, writing organization, and developing clear, structured responses. In math, I focus on number sense, problem-solving, and helping students explain their thinking with confidence.
My approach is patient, supportive, and structured. I aim to create a comfortable environment where students feel safe asking questions and are encouraged to take risks in their learning. I also believe that building confidence is just as important as building skills. Whether I am working one-on-one or in a small group, my goal is to help each student make meaningful progress and feel more capable and successful in their schoolwork.
