- Background Check Completed On May 13, 2016
I have a McGill University BA in Linguistics Major and Modern Languages. I have been mentoring children and adults for 30 years in a variety of academics and life skills. I have experience with children and adults who have developmental, physical challenges as well as Autism Spectrum. My communication skills repertoire include American Sign Language 1, French, Spanish beginner, and English K-12. Currently, I am working part time with children k-12 in all subjects and adults with learning differences. I am also a volunteer; tutoring Adult newcomers to Canada beginner's English for Share Family Services Society. I have a Good Beginnings and School-Age Childcare Certificates which I earned when I opened my home business daycare for 41/2 years (infants - 12yrs) called Children's Castle since I lived on a street called Princess Cres. It is very rewarding teaching, especially when I partake in the experience of students having those 'Aha' moments and witness the growth in their academics and self-confidence. Relationship building is important to me when I teach, my approach is not to just assess their academic needs but to value the 'whole' person; their hopes and dreams, life perspectives, cultural background, interests, etc. I am a teacher but I also see myself as a learner and continue to want to learn, students have a lot to offer too and am in constant awe with what I learn from them. I am married with 2 daughters who are in University and 2 sappy, loving cats! I play classical and acoustic guitar, listen to classical, jazz, pop, rock, and blues music. I am a member of Club 16 gym, I like swimming, tai chi, mystery novels and movies, history, comedies, politics, travelling, trying new different cultural foods, babies, animals and meeting new people!
