TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I'm an experienced Humanities teacher with a passion for creating efficient and fun curriculum which engages all types of learners. All materials have been tried and tested with real kids, producing real results.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I believe kids need to be prepared to meet the demands of the 21st century world; the job market is changing at a rapid pace and they need to have the skills to meet it. To that end, I like to encourage critical thinking through self directed research projects and the use of technology, such as photo poem project or a Google maps activity.
