    About Me

    Good day! I am Canadian and have been teaching for the past twenty years; twelve of these years have been spent as an overseas teacher. I am currently in Costa Rica. I am qualified to teach English, History, and Social Sciences. For the past six years, I have been teaching the IB English program. My students often comment on my ability to make lessons fun and my keen sense of how to break down bigger writing assignments into smaller, more manageable processes.

    Education

    University of Western Ontario, Canada
    University of Waterloo, Canada

    My major for my undergrad degree was History with an English Literature minor. My Bachelor of Education focused on middle and high school teaching.

    Experience / Qualifications

    Ontario College of Teachers Member since 2001
    Is your son or daughter getting ready to enter the IB (International Baccalaureate Program), or is he/she already in the IB program? I have been an IB English A (Language and Literature) teacher for the past 6 years. I can assist your son/daughter with preparing for the IB English assessments. I can help them to improve their their analytical skills. As an IB examiner, I have a deep understanding of what examiners are looking for! I will not help them write essays or provide feedback on work they will be handing in for the IBO (due to academic integrity rules, students can only receive this feedback from their teachers, and only can get feedback once on a draft). However, I can help them improve their skills and plan for their internal assessments.
