Teacher expertise and credentials
Non-US Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Hello! My name is Teacher Christa, and I'm excited to teach your child! I have a Bachelor of Education degree from the University of Saskatchewan! I currently live in Alberta, Canada and teach full time to a Grade 4 class. I teach all subject area including literacy, numeracy, social studies, science, health and art. I started my teaching career as a Kindergarten to Grade 6 music teacher. I then taught a Grade 2/3 class for many years, as well as Grade 2, and now currently Grade 4. I have been teaching for 24 years and each day I get to step into my classroom brings me joy! Primary children are my passion.
Outside of my classroom, I love to spend time with my husband and my 14 year old daughter. We love going for hikes, listening to music, dancing, and traveling!
In my classroom I want to make learning fun, enjoyable and not feel like work! I love seeing a child's face light up when they learn something, and want to make learning an exciting adventure! I look forward to seeing your child in my classroom!

Per Outschool policy "If your learners have not joined the meeting 10 minutes after the start time, the meeting may be canceled at the teacher's discretion. This is considered a missed meeting and you are not entitled to a refund.'
