EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY

Learning is not always about improving marks, it is about trying to find practical use for content, and developing strong skills. This can best be done through interesting projects, and games to help strengthen skills. At the cores all education is about learning what matters the most to a student and working to their strengths. As long as the student is willing to try and fail new things, than we can work together to accomplish any goals.

EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND

I finished my Bachelor of Arts Degree at the University of British Columbia, Canada with a major in History. My minor was in English particularly literature and essay writing. After that, I completed my Bachelors of Education again at UBC and receiving my teaching certificate from B.C. Currently I am applying for my Washington state teacher certificate as well.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have worked at a tutor for 2 years for TGIS, helping students improve their English and study for math and science tests. I also have experience teaching social studies 10 and 11, History 12 and Humanities 8 which includes social studies and English.

EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

I was a leader for the Awana children’s program at the Nazarene Church in Penticton for 3 years. As well I am a certified BC Rugby coach and coached a high school women’s team for two years. On my practicum I was a volunteer for the grade 11 Victoria day trips and would regularly chaperone the school dances.
