I am currently in my eighth year of teaching. This year, I am teaching a 1st and 2nd grade mixed age class in an international school in Brussels. In the past, I have also taught French as a foreign language to grades K-5 and been a classroom teacher in 3rd, 4th and 5th grade and in a special needs school.
Fun is my key word! When kids are having fun, they learn so much easier! I like to make learning practical to make learning purposeful. I also love to link different subjects together so I teach mainly in units.
Distinction for my two degrees and Kate Bertram prize for best result in Education from Lucy Cavendish College, University of Cambridge. Best French Teacher, awarded by my 5th Graders :)
I own a bachelor's degree in Primary Education from a teaching training school in Brussels. I also completed a Master's degree in Educational Psychology from the University of Cambridge.
Teaching is my passion and I am happy to share it with you through my products! If you have any questions, comments or requests, feel free to email me: learnwithmisswhitburn@gmail.com
