✨ About Me! ✨
Hello! I’m Erika, a proud mom to 4 wonderful daughters and a playful little dog named Sugar. 🐾 I’ve been a primary school teacher in Canada for 19 years and I’m certified by the Ontario College of Teachers with a Bachelor of Education degree. 🎓
Since 2021, I’ve been a parent on Outschool, and since 2024, I’ve had the privilege of teaching here as well. I specialize in Early Years Kindergarten Instruction, with additional qualifications in special education and behavioral sciences. Recently, I completed training in Structured Literacy, a method that’s been incredible for helping students overcome reading challenges! 📚
My classes are all about Structured Literacy, offering clear, step-by-step lessons that help students build their reading and writing skills. It’s truly amazing to see how much progress my students make, both in the classroom and during online tutoring! 🚀
I absolutely love teaching online—creating fun, engaging lessons and slideshows that bring learning to life in the comfort of students’ homes. The flexibility of online teaching works perfectly for busy families, and it’s a joy to accommodate everyone’s schedule while still providing top-notch education! 😊📖Reviews
