Experience
With over 20 years of classroom experience, I'm passionate about creating interactive, creative, hands-on materials that are easy to use — for both teachers and students.

Teaching style
Every educator has a unique style. I like to employ a blended teaching style where students' needs can be specifically addressed and adapted to. I approach blending styles to fit the needs of the students, the material, and the lesson objective. As a teacher, I might begin lessons with a demonstration of a model (explicit teaching), depending on a direct or indirect approach to the content. Autonomy and critical thinking are both skills I value.
