Hello Outschool Families,

Four years ago, After a couple decades of teaching in some beautiful schools with amazing students,  I decided to make a change. I left behind the "brick and mortar" schools for the online school community. I could not be happier. The online school community still has beautiful schools with amazing students.

I am so happy I made the change. I love teaching or tutoring online. I love connecting with students. I love using games, stories and props to teach students English, Math and English as a Second Language.

I love seeing children learn at their pace. I love seeing the confidence boost in children when they succeed. I love hearing how my lessons have helped children all over the world. 

I love that Outschool has provided amazing teachers with amazing children so we can all learn and grow together. 

I look forward to helping your students boost their reading, spelling, math and English as a Second Language skills. 

Please reach out today if you would like any more information. Be sure to check out my classes. 

More about me:
 I also teach life skills, social skills,  and behavioural strategies in a fun and engaging way. I am a Child and Youth Worker, Educational Assistant, Instructor for the Blind and Visually Impaired and an instructor for autistic children. I also am TESOL certified. I have a university degree, a college diploma and specialized certificates. I hold a number of other certificates and qualifications to teach children. I am always taking new courses. I love meeting new children and learning about what excites them. I have two boys ages 6 and 9 years old who I homeschooled for many years.
