TEACHING EXPERIENCE

My teaching career includes over 14 years in primary and early childhood education in New Zealand and over 12 years as an International Baccalaureate (IB) PYP coordinator, classroom teacher and online educator in Indonesia.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I like providing a hands-on, inquiry-based learning environment that passes on my passion for building learning together and caring for the environment. My passion and strengths are in working in supportive learning roles with both children and adults as part of collaborative, innovative teams. I enjoy helping students identify personal learning strengths, make personal connections with new learning and supporting them as they establish solid life-long learning skills.
