Good
morning!
I
received your e-mail addresses through a homeschooling parent in Canning.I am a
mother of three grown up children, and a
teacher who has been away in Alberta as teacher/ principal in a small
rural school for the last 6 months.I taught grades 2- 8 in a one room classroom- and loved it!
Unfortunately the little school had to
shut down when 2 families had to move.When I returned home I knew I wanted to
begin a tutoring service especially for
homeschoolers. While in Alberta, I worked
closely with our school's home schooling coordinator, and I saw yet again what
I have always believed- home schooling is the very best education for children.
I have had experience teaching preschool to
adults across Canada, in England and Uganda.I have tutored all ages many with
behavioural and physical challenges,
working one year as a Special Education teacher, and for two years at LandMark
East. I make my lesson creative and fun and have held many writing workshops
that were tailored to the needs of each student. This is how I teach: by
watching and listening to each child carefully,caring about their growth, and
listening to the thoughts of their parent- teachers.
While in
Uganda the head mistress told parents that I knew the children as
individuals and took the time to know them well.I received the teacher-
nominated award for the kindest teacher and i treasure it more than any
diploma.
I believe that at times home schooling
parents need a bit of extra help with a subject, and so that is why I am
writing you, to offer my experience,my
knowledge of the N.S. curriculum, as well as my patience and interest. I
charge 20$ an hour if the student comes here to Wolfville, and can arrange to
travel to a home .I can also arrange study and help groups for several families
at a lower cost per student.
If you are interested please do call me, or
just call to have a chat. It would be such a
pleasure to add support to homeschooling parents here in Nova Scotia.
Sincerely
Fiona
