Hello! I hold a Bachelor of Education in Elementary Education with a minor in mathematics from the University of Alberta, alongside a Child Development Supervisor certification, giving me a deep foundation in how young children learn, grow, and develop. As an experienced educator who has taught at the college level in early childhood programs and in traditional grade 6 classrooms, I bring a versatile and engaging approach to teaching. I want your child to feel safe making mistakes as they learn and to gain confidence in themselves as they put in the work. I believe that learning a new skill can sometimes be difficult, but the reward and satisfaction in pushing ourselves is worth it!

Over the years, my teaching environments have ranged from classrooms and computer labs to one-on-one instruction. I also bring recent, extensive experience homeschooling my own children and providing continued support as they successfully transitioned back into traditional school. I specialize in comprehensive elementary education (K-6th), focusing heavily on reading, math, and practical study skills that help students build long-term confidence and academic success.

I believe that anyone who is currently struggling doesn't need to stay stuck, and with the right supports and teamwork, every student can achieve their goals. I look forward to working with you or your child to help build a strong foundation for success!
