アリクイについて話しましょう！ アリクイの奇妙な動物の事実、奇妙な習性など！

Hello :)  My name is Shaya and I am a passionate online teacher with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing who specializes teaching children ages 5 to 13.  I have 17 years experience supporting students both in the classroom and in the 1:1 setting focusing mainly on math, reading, and writing.  We use science and arts combined with an exploration of concepts to develop a love for learning.   I have two children of my own who I have always homeschooled, ages 6 and 9.

I am TESOL, TEO and TEFL certified.  I have been teaching children online for the past 8 years.  In all my teaching settings we work on meeting developmental milestones, concepts and skills through interactive circle time, morning meeting groups or show and tell sharing.  I include topics such as sight words, phonics, fluency, letters, writing stories, creativity, and more.  In my classes we use an all accepting, discussion based approach where every child feels welcome and important.  I am committed to guiding learners in a warm and welcoming environment where they enjoy learning and want to come back.

In my free time you can find me playing outdoors with my kids or taking people on tours through the animal sanctuary I volunteer at - I love animals!  I have worked at an animal sanctuary for many years now and therefore have up close and sometimes all-too-personal experiences with all the animals that I am passionate to teach about.  I also teach classes online and therefore enjoy combining the two and bringing out that same passion in children.

I hope to see your child in class soon! :)
