Having taught more than 20 years in elite private schools with an accelerated curriculum, my classes are fast paced with high expectations. Keeping the attention of even the most wiggly of students!
However, my philosophy of teaching the whole child means that I will provide explicit teaching with clear instructions combined with lots of support and practice. My goal is to ensure each child's success in my classroom.
First and foremost, my classroom will always be a safe place! Children learn best with they are comfortable and know the teacher is there to help them at all times.
Learning is supposed to be fun and engaging! So you will find my classroom to be:

But- we always accomplish our goals.
Work hard- Play hard! Am I right?
