Hi there! I’m Erika—mom to four amazing daughters and one fluffy sidekick named Sugar. 🐶 I’ve spent the last 19 years teaching primary school in Canada, and I’m certified by the Ontario College of Teachers with a Bachelor of Education degree.
I specialize in Early Years and Structured Literacy, which means I love helping learners crack the mysteries of reading and spelling with step-by-step strategies that really work. I’ve also trained in special education and behavioral science—so I know how to support all kinds of thinkers and dreamers. 💭📚
I’ve been part of the Outschool community since 2021 as a parent, and since 2024, I’ve had the joy of teaching here too! My classes are filled with laughter, learning, and just the right amount of silliness to make phonics fun. From silly stories to surprise challenges, we build reading skills in a way that sticks—and feels like an adventure! 🌟🚀
Whether your child is just starting out or ready to tackle longer words, I’m here to help them grow their confidence, one sound and syllable at a time! Let’s make learning magical, meaningful, and full of smiles. 😊📖Reviews
