I have been teaching for 29 years. Most of that time has been spent in the middle school grades, however I have taught students from primary to adult. My favourite subjects are English (essays, stories, poetry, debating, public speaking), History and IT.
I am an engaging, organized teacher who is always willing to go the extra mile to help my students succeed. I want students to know that what they are learning will be valuable to them not only today but well into their future.
