Methodology
My creative methods follow an integrated approach to teaching. By actively listening to and getting to know my students, I am able to develop engaging classes that cater to each student's unique learning styles, interests and needs.
I am highly adaptable and enjoy using new techniques to keep my students interested and make our sessions as enjoyable and productive as possible.
Background
I am an academic writer with a Bachelor of Psychology degree and Early Childhood Education certificate, and have my work published in academic journals. I am passionate about helping others accomplish their goals and have been a private tutor, special needs aide and mentor for over 5 years.
During this time, I have helped several primary to post-secondary school students develop confidence and skills in areas they never thought possible.
My patience and positive energy keeps students engaged and confident so that they are able to write impressive essays and research papers, increase their reading speed and comprehension and competently interpret and dissect written material. Students love my creative teaching strategies that help them look at English class in a new light and make learning fun and interesting!
