Experience

Certified elementary school teacher from the USA with over eighteen years of teaching experience in all levels of elementary school through 8th grade.

Teaching style

I strive to keep things learner-centered. It's about the students drawing their own conclusions, thinking critically, designing, creating, and making their own choices.

Awards & shining teacher moments

Each "lightbulb moment" with a student is the greatest joy for me!
