My teaching method
Tutoring is a unique skill
While teacher training prepared me for being a teacher in the classroom, here in Nanaimo, it is my years of experience communicating with young children that ensures I am an effective tutor. I pride myself on relationship-building and gaining the trust of my students so that they feel safe and ready to learn.

personal assessment
I assess a student for their individual skill level, their personal learning style, and the areas of learning that need support. I tailor the lesson plans and adapt the materials to address the learning style and strengths or weaknesses, whether it is for an auditory, visual, kinesthetic, or read/write learner.
Adaptive learning
Each tutoring session is different here in my classroom in Nanaimo. I observe, record, and follow the child's progress, continually adapting and addressing the established goals. Hands-on activities, interactive games, and movement engage the whole body and create a fun and energetic environment for young bodies that need to move while they learn.
teamwork
It is my job to work as a team, with the child, the parents and the classroom teacher. I work to build a strong rapport with each student. I am approachable and share regular progress reports with parents. Students develop solid communication and coping skills that prepare them to thrive as lifelong learners.
Cultivating Academic Excellence and Emotional Well-being
Expanding on this approach, I ensure that each session is educational and emotionally supportive, recognizing the importance of a student's well-being in their learning journey. I strongly emphasize critical thinking and problem-solving skills, encouraging students to ask questions, explore different solutions, and think outside the box. This method promotes a deeper understanding of subjects and fosters a genuine love for learning, curiosity, and resilience in facing challenges.
Furthermore, I understand the significance of nurturing academic abilities and social and emotional skills. Creating a supportive and understanding atmosphere, I help students feel valued and recognized beyond their academic achievements. This holistic approach supports academic success and empowers students to become confident, independent learners. I aim to equip each student with solid communication and coping skills, preparing them to thrive as lifelong learners in a rapidly changing world. Through this tailored and compassionate tutoring method, students develop academically and grow as well-rounded individuals ready to face future challenges.
