Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 4
Beginner Level
This course will teach students the fundamental concepts and skills related to fractions. By the end of the class, learners will confidently add, subtract, compare, and work with fractions in various contexts.

The class will meet twice a week for four weeks. Each lesson will include a combination of direct instruction, interactive practice, and guided problem-solving activities. Students will engage in a mix of individual and collaborative tasks to reinforce their understanding.

My teaching style is student-centered and interactive. I focus on making math fun and accessible, I encourage active participation and create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and exploring new ideas.

Learners will have multiple opportunities to interact with me throughout the course. Each lesson includes live discussions where students can ask questions and share their thoughts. Interactive activities, such as games and problem-solving exercises, will allow for real-time feedback and support.
Learning Goals
Learners will understand fractions as parts of a whole, add and subtract fractions with different denominators, and compare and simplify fractions. They’ll also convert mixed numbers and improper fractions, applying these skills to solve problems.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Education from Brock University
Bachelor's Degree in Science from McMaster University
I have been teaching for over 24 years, with extensive experience in both traditional classroom settings and online environments. I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry and Physics with a minor in Math, as well as a Bachelor of Education degree. 

I am a certified teacher and qualified to teach grades 4 to 12. Throughout my career, I have taught math, physics, and chemistry to students in both public and independent schools. My journey as an educator began in university when I started tutoring, and I now specialize in online tutoring. I focus on making Math and Physics engaging, interactive, and educational for students in grades 4 to 12.

In my classes for grades 4-8 I like to use Nearpod to make the classes fun and interactive for younger learners. In grades 9-12 I use Classkick and Desmos which are both excellent interactive platforms suitable for intermediate and senior students. 

My teaching philosophy is centered around the belief that education should be accessible, engaging, and empowering. I strive to foster a love for learning in my students by incorporating hands-on activities, interactive discussions, and real-life examples in my lessons. My classes follow a gradual release of responsibility model, beginning with direct teacher instruction, followed by guided practice, and culminating in individual practice. I believe in the power of curiosity and encourage my students to ask questions, explore new ideas, and think critically.

Outside of teaching, I am a mother of two children, aged 8 and 11. The insights and skills I've gained from parenting deeply inform my teaching approach, allowing me to connect with my students on a more personal level. I understand the importance of patience, empathy, and adaptability, and I strive to create a supportive and nurturing learning environment for all my students.
