TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have been teaching for 2 decades. I have been in the classroom since the early 1990's and the majority of my experience is Kindergarten to Grade 3 - however I am Kindergarten to Grade 12 trained and certified.

MY TEACHING STYLE

Laid back, fun-loving, differentiated and student directed. The students let me know how they learn and then I teach to their learning style.
