Hello! My name is Miss T. I’m a certified primary school teacher with a Master of Teaching and a Bachelor of Arts majoring in Second Language Education. I have several years of classroom experience delivering all aspects of the primary (elementary) curriculum, working with children aged 5 to 13. My expertise is within the 6-9-year-old range. I also have experience teaching the Montessori Method, reflected in my calm and caring teaching persona. My specialties are literacy, literature, ESOL, mathematics, visual arts, social-emotional skills, and wellbeing. I absolutely love teaching writing - there is so much room for creativity and personal voice! I find great joy in extending gifted learners just as much as accelerating those who may need a boost and have experience in delivering targeted curriculum to both.
