Summary
I am a dedicated and passionate educator with 17 years of experience. I believe that all children have the desire and capacity to learn and it is our job, as educators, to partner with the learners in order to help them to reach their full learning potential. My teaching practice focuses on the specific needs of my students, while using an inquiry based learning approach with authentic contexts. I very strongly believe in creating a warm and loving learning environment which allows my students to feel safe to take risks.
