Credo:
“I favor teaching primary students through a student-centered discovery approach. I believe that education is more meaningful when students take an active role in their learning and learn valuable skills such as critical thinking and problem solving along with the curriculum. Regarding language acquisition, I strive to provide my students with a “Speaking First” curriculum in which we concentrate on building conversational skills together with expanding vocabulary. I’m really enjoying gaining the skills and practice necessary for the transition to inquiry-based learning through the IB program”.
