TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have been teaching PreK-2 since 1999. Most of this time has been spent teaching in international settings such as England, Germany, Texas, Pennsylvania and currently Singapore. My focus has been on early reading and writing skills using textless books.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I enjoy a creative and fun learning environment where students use their own knowledge to support new learning.
