Miriam, lessons tutoring / homework help in Barrie north

Hello Everyone,

My name is Miriam and I am an Ontario Certified Teacher for the Primary/Junior Division. I graduated from Queen's University. I completed my undergrad in Fine Arts at the University of Windsor. While in teacher's college, I taught grades 1, 5/6. The subjects that I taught are: Math, Science, English, Gym & Art (Co-taught), and Social studies. Once I graduated, I became a private piano teacher at a daycare for children ages 3-9. This position helped me to used the knowledge that I attained from teacher's college and apply it to a real job setting. I can play 4 instruments and I am very passionate about the arts (music, visual arts, photography, creative writing, dance etc) and bring that passion and experience to the children I am tutoring. My particular approach for tutoring is to cater to the students individual needs, interests, and strengths, and acknowledge and appreciate the small achievements, focus on specific learning goals, use visual aids, as well as hands on tools in order for each student to be successful. Having fun and learning at the same time is essential to a happy, healthy individual. I’m an encouraging and patient person and teacher who truly enjoys seeing students improve and succeed by teaching the transferable skills to help them flourish in any subject and to continue to be lifelong learners. I am also First Aid & CPR certified.

I look forward to helping your child succeed academically and well as a person; preparing them with life long tools and skills that they will benefit from both in and outside of the classroom.
