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.
