About the store

Experience

Teacher for 18+ years, with a passion for reading, phonics-based games and project-based learning!

Teaching style

I love creating new materials and finding new approaches to learning. I have a passion for teaching reading and helping students overcome learning challenges. If I have developed an enthusiasm and lifelong love of learning in my students, I have succeeded.

Awards & shining teacher moments

I'd have to say the greatest moments are found in the long endurance of seeing a concept go from the beginning to mastery for a child.
