CURRICULUM
Teaching and reading materials are carefully selected and crafted for each student. I aim to challenge and inspire by systematically working above the grade in reaching a higher level of comprehension, understanding and analysis of literature.
METHODOLOGY
Students often state that they have not been taught how to write and they do not know what to write. Devised, practiced and tested for years, my writing methodology has been taught to hundreds of students throughout the years.
Teaching Philosophy
My teaching philosophy embraces the core values of holistic education nurturing the broad development of students—intellectual, emotional, social, physical, creative, intuitive, aesthetic and spiritual potentials. I see our learners as whole human beings.
