I have taught every age group from infants to high school seniors. Most of my experience is in the middle grades, where I taught French, literacy, and ESL.
My teaching style is eclectic. I believe using strategies in auditory, visual, tactile are important. I also believe in giving students choice as much as possible. I use integrated assessments, project based learning, as well as flipping the classroom for optimum learning and to foster autonomy.
