About Me

SUBJECTS

EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY

I believe that education must be relevant to the issues today’s global citizens face worldwide, and that students must be empowered to influence the world in which they are currently citizens.

Lessons need to have real-world applications so that students can identify how their “homework” has real-world value. I prepare learning opportunities that provide support for and reflect the diversity of my students’ prior experiences, knowledge and skills, as well as personal learning styles. Homework assignments should be relevant to everyday life and develop problem-solving capabilities.

EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND

I am an Ontario Certified Teacher and hold qualifications for Primary/Junior, Intermediate English, Special Education (Part One), and English as a Second Language (Part One).

My Bachelor of Education was completed at Nipissing University where I took additional courses in International Teaching and the Education of Native Canadians. In 2003, I graduated with a Bachelor of Humanities from the College of Humanities at Carleton University.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE

My previous teaching experience has been varied. My last teaching assignment was highschool ESL and elementary Core French at North Toronto Christian School. During my teaching practice I taught grades 3 & 6 Language Arts, Science, Math, Social Studies, and Drama.

For three years I lived in South Korea where I taught ESL elementary, secondary, and adult classes. I also created after-school programming and taught cross-curricular English immersion camps.

EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

Personally I am passionate about theatre, music, dance and community development. I have previously been involved with an environmental, ESL, French, and a workout club. I have also helped coach cross-country running and track-and-field.
