Hi there!
My name is Erica! I am an enthusiastic and creative teacher who is so excited for the opportunity to share my passions with my students!
A bit about me; I have a Bachelor of Arts in Studio Arts and a Masters in Art Therapy, so to say that the Creative Arts are important to me would be a huge understatement! Along with studying art/art therapy, I have over 15 years experience working directly with children and providing artistic lessons with a variety of mediums and art techniques. In fact, my whole life my goal has always been to provide young students with a strong foundation in the elements of art in a way that is fun and engaging. The reason this is my goal is that it is my firm belief that artistic practices are a fundamental way to encourage students to think outside the box; a skill which I find to be invaluable for development!
Whether teaching simple arts and crafts to younger kids, and/or teaching more advanced art theory to middle/high school students, I look forward to guiding each individual student in their own artistic and creative journey.
Along with art, I teach of variety of world geography classes that encompass my passion for travel. My World Explorers series cover locations in every continent of the globe! I have been a traveling the world for the last 8 years and I have been lucky enough to travel to 15 countries and live in Australia, Italy, and Croatia! I love to share my passion for the world travel with young children - it continuously inspires me to see them be excited about the places they want to travel!
Some fun facts about me:
- I am from Canada, but I have lived in Australia, Italy, and Croatia.
- I have a blue belt in Karate - I used to be a karate teacher too!
- My first time on a plane I was just 9 days old!Reviews
