Hello my name is Teacher Amy,
I live in the mountains in Alberta, Canada with my husband and two girls. I have 20+ years experience teaching and tutoring children and adults in multiple disciplines. I enjoy watching my students grow and gain the confidence to learn and speak English. I love sports especially skiing and mountain biking. When I am not teaching, you will find me playing sports, playing with my girls or tending to my flowers in my garden.
When I teach, I am patient, I let my students make mistakes and have them practice with me to correct them. I model and then repeat. When I see that my students is succeeding I use a lot of praise and show them they are doing a great job with virtual high fives and other words of encouragement.
I have been teaching for more than 20 years, in class and tutoring in the homes of my students, in person and over the internet. I truly enjoy helping people learn and it has become a strong passion of mine.
In class, I have worked with students in Kindergarten through to grade 12. My teaching strengths in English are reading recovery, reading retention, reading comprehension, early reading, advanced reading and book reviews.
When you get me as a teacher, you will see an increase in your skills very quickly!
