Class Experience

US Grade 1 - 3
Learners will explore insect anatomy and morphology while delving into the scary world of real life zombies and mummies. The ecology and relationships associated with parasites, parasitoids, and fungi will be investigated as we follow the pathology of disease from multiple perspectives. Classes are high energy, engaging and student focused.

A combination of games, visuals and interactive discussion will lead learners to deeper understanding of the topic. 

No previous understanding of biology or insects required.

Hello! I offer learners the opportunity to dig deep into the fields of entomology, greenhouse growing, and academic writing.

I have a bachelors in Biological Sciences and a diploma in Greenhouse Technology. I have been teaching for over 5 years and I have experience both in the classroom and online. I’m a former college Entomology instructor, turned homeschool mother, cookie decorator, online ESL teacher and academic writing tutor. I have a passion for quality, meaningful learning that I bring to any age group or intellectual level.

I believe teaching should be fun, engaging and interactive. I stand by the idea that students learn best in an environment that allows them the freedom to explore, be creative and think critically.

Personally, I enjoy hiking, reading, and baking artistic treats. I also run a small cookie business.

You will find my personality, experiences and interests sprinkled into each lesson as I strive to relate and stay relevant to students. I look forward to welcoming you into my classroom.
