My teaching style:
In all of my classes  my teaching style is inspired by the Charlotte Mason philosophy, which sees each child as a capable and curious learner. 

Here is how I approach teaching:

1. Child-Centered learning-I believe that children thrive when they take ownership of their learning. In this class, your child will have the freedom to explore ideas and topics that interest them, encouraging a love for learning that lasts a lifetime. 
2. Interactive and engaging-I use a blend of discussion, narration, and creative activities to help students connect with the story on a deeper level. This hands-on approach makes learning both meaningful and fun.
3.Focused and respectful-Lessons are kept short and focused to respect your child's natural attention span. I aim to cultivate good habits of attention, reflection, and self-expression, helping your child grow as a thoughtful reader. 
4. Supportive and encouraging-I provide gentle guidance, creating a supportive environment where every student feels valued and confident in sharing their thoughts and ideas. 

MY GOAL IS TO INSPIRE YOUR CHILD TO LOVE READING, THINK CRITICALLY, AND TAKE JOY IN THEIR LEARNING JOURNEY.
