Welcome Families,
My name is Ms. Hillier. I am an Elementary teacher living in Canada. I taught in the public system for six years and my experience is in lower Elementary classrooms. I also have been teaching online for two years. In addition to teaching, I have been running the youngest branch of Girl Guides in my area for the last twelve years. 
Over the years I have met so many lovely students, but something was missing in my classrooms. The public system is built around the "average" child. One who learns at a level that matches their age. What about the students who are at a lower level then considered the average? Or higher? The current system in my opinion, isn't giving them what they deserve! The lower students are pushed through. Not really feeling like they are good enough! The students at a higher level are given twenty worksheets and are often bored. It made me feel defeated year after year! 
I decided to find a new way to teach children. One where every child could feel successful and work at their own level. This dream for something different lead me to obtaining a diploma in Lower Elementary Montessori Teaching.
A school system where students love learning, laugh, and be silly, to grow, explore and be their very best! There are no average students, so I don't want to teach in an average school! 
I decided to teach on Outschool for just this reason! Online I am able to teach a child the skills they need and what interests them. Instead of what the province says a 7 year old should be doing to be successful. Every child is unique and special, who learns in their own way! This is how I want to teach my programs.
I can't wait to meet your child and watch them shine! 
Thank you for your interest in my classes.
