My professional background includes classroom teaching grades 1-3, several years as  an elementary principal and helping over 100 Outschool learners from around the world become more confident and  fluent readers.  
      I am most passionate about helping children build a strong phonics foundation. It is my joy to teach children how to read and to share my love of reading.  I implement fun strategies to provide lessons that motivate students to become more fluent readers. My philosophy in teaching is to  meet learners where they are  and to celebrate their successes each step of the way.
