My teaching career began over thirty years ago in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Since that time, I have taught various grades including ESL. Presently, from my home office, I offer tutoring sessions and develop educational resources.

I like to provide my students with a wide range of teaching strategies so they have a solid foundation. Then, I give them opportunities to use the strategies and take risks with becoming more successful. In addition, I believe feedback is very important. For this, I use rubrics and suggestions for improvement. I think students need to learn that they "can do it" but that they are the only ones who can make it happen.

Yet to be added

I graduated from Dalhousie University with a Bachelor of Arts in 1975 and a Bachelor of Education in 1976. In 1980, I received a Master of Arts in Education from Saint Mary's University, and in 2003 I completed my formal education when I received a PhD in Education from Commonwealth Open University.
