About

I am currently completing my final year of my undergraduate degree at York University and achieving my OCT to become a certified teacher. I have experience volunteering at my local elementary schools and working as Head Teacher at a learning center. I have lots of in-class experience and virtual class experience. I have worked at various summer camps and teaching-related roles. I have gained the skills and knowledge to lead a classroom and work one-on-one with students in-person and virtually. I specialize in JK to grade 10 lessons in various subjects. I look forward to continuing my pursuit of teaching and watching my students flourish, develop, and learn.

Education

University of Toronto

2024 - 2026
Master of Teaching and OCT, Education
I am completing the Master of Teaching (MT) program, which offers a unique educational opportunity combining teacher qualification with advanced study of educational theory and the chance to conduct research. The program provides me with a strong grounding in curriculum, human development, ethics and educational law, equity, diversity and inclusion, Indigenous education, educational technology, instructional planning, instructional design, and learning theory. I enjoy three practice teaching experiences where I develop my skills as a teacher and extend the theoretical and practical knowledge I acquired in the academic portion of the program. This program involves two years of full-time study leading to a Master of Teaching degree. Upon successful completion, I will be recommended to the Ontario College of Teachers for an Ontario Teachers' Certificate of Qualification, qualifying me to teach in the Primary and Junior (P/J) divisions of Ontario schools and will be working towards my qualification in more divisions.

York University

2020 - 2024
Educational Studies, Education
Graduated from York University with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Educational Studies. During years 3 and 4 of the program, I had the opportunity to experience my education through learning placements within the community and in related organizations. I developed workplace-specific skills and enhanced my professional networks. Our unique community partnerships provided me with opportunities to put theory into practice and gain insight into the kinds of learning and advocacy that contribute to the well-being of society.
