Number of Years Teaching: 18 Number of Years at Merton: 4 Teaching Philosophy: - I believe in nurturing the whole child so my students feel safe and emotionally secure. I develop warm connections with my students and create a classroom atmosphere where we feel like a family, supporting and encouraging each other with kindness. I enjoy designing creative, hands-on experiences where children can take ownership of their learning and follow their curiosities. Beyond a strong academic foundation, I teach children to effectively express themselves, problem solve, make responsible choices, and know themselves as learners. Having a strong early foundation with these skills will set them up for future school success.
