Personal Description:

Hello! My name is Ashley and I am a passionate, upbeat and patient educator in Ontario with my professional teaching certification (OCT). I have been teaching children in sports, movement, mindfulness and wellbeing for the last 13 years. I have been working as a professional teacher in school settings since 2017, teaching a variety of age groups but falling in love with the early years and Kindergarten. I am an athlete in my spare time, as I love to train for ice hockey, soccer and overall health. I enjoy living an active lifestyle, hiking, rollerblading, biking and exploring the outdoors whenever I can. I also love to travel, connect with new people, have meaningful conversations and explore with those around me.

Tutoring Approach:

I approach tutoring my students with compassion for them as human-beings. When we show our children they are safe to make mistakes, they can show up more confidently knowing they are supported no matter what. I believe patience, respect, kindness and clear communication are crucial during tutoring sessions and I always prioritize these qualities within my lessons. I show up with a smile, positive energy and a calm demeanour to make your children feel at home during their learning.
