自我介绍：

"I have been a high school teacher with the Peel Board of Education for 21 years. In addition to being an English, History, Law, World Religions, English Language Learning (ELL) and Civics teacher, I was the Curriculum Head of English for 10 years. My role in education is to facilitate inquiry, communication, engagement, and empathy among my students. In my career, I have built a strong literacy development program and an effective assessment and evaluation process, based on Growing Success, in both the History and English departments. I also started a student writing centre and professional library. Additionally, I created a weekly tutoring program for students preparing to write the OSSLT and who require essay writing assistance.

I am passionate about meeting all my students' academic needs as I embrace their diversity and their unique abilities. I am qualified to teach a broad range of subjects with a specialty in teaching English literature, essay writing and literacy test preparation. In my many years of experience, I have found that developing lessons that are accessible and relevant to students gives them the best chances for academic success. Any student can reach their full potential when learning is fun and engaging."
