Teacher expertise and credentials
Non-US Teaching Certificate in English/Language Arts
Hi, I'm Lisa. I live in the beautiful Muskoka region of Ontario, Canada. I have been teaching for 15 years now, first as a classroom teacher, now as a homeschooling mom. In the classroom I taught all subjects to various combinations of grades 1-4 students.
I have a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Education. I am a member in good standing of the Ontario College of Teachers.
I believe learning should be fun. I feel education should inspire students to desire more knowledge and encourage them to explore the world.
I love spending time with my family. We enjoy playing board games and card games together. You can also find us watching Survivor together. My daughters and I love to experiment in the kitchen, especially if it involves chocolate. We all love animals, particularly our own cats and dogs. You may notice a cat or two sneaking up on my lap during my classes.
I'm looking forward to seeing you in the classroom!
