Experience
I have 35 years of teaching experience from PreK through Algebra II. I am Montessori trained. I love teaching STEM and have been a STEM specials teacher for 5 years. I teach science summer camps full of hands-on activities.
Teaching style
Being Montessori trained, I believe that students need to be active participants in their own learning. The teacher is the guide. Every student learns, but each one learns differently. Through project based learning, students can truly demonstrate what they have learned in any subject area.
My own education history
I am the child of teachers so my course was pretty much set. I started working in a Montessori preschool and decided to invest in Montessori training. I loved it! While teaching preschool, I continued my education, getting my bachelor's, credential, and master's. In the middle of that, I also continued my Montessori education for children ages 6-9.
Additional biographical information
When the private school I was working at was forced to close due to COVID, I had to quickly pivot. Parents from the school wanted me to continue teaching their children so I quickly began my own private, online elementary school. My students are local so we have STEM in the Park on Fridays with art, STEM and a WOW! science experiment.
