About Lily

Dedicated to Unlocking Every Student’s Infinite Potential

Hello! I am a Primary/Junior Ontario Certified Teacher dedicated to making learning an adventure rather than a chore. My journey to the classroom was unique—teaching is my second career, a choice I made because I realized that helping young minds grow isn't just what I do; it’s who I am.

A Passionate Path to Teaching

I transitioned into education because I discovered a profound passion for witnessing the "aha!" moment when a complex concept suddenly clicks for a child. Because I chose this path as a second career, I bring a wealth of maturity, life experience, and a genuine enthusiasm to every lesson. I don't just teach because it is my job; I teach because I believe every student has an infinite ability to succeed when given the right environment.

My Philosophy: Learning by Doing

I believe that children learn best when they aren't just listening, but doing. My philosophy is rooted in experiential learning. Instead of just memorizing facts, I encourage students to interact with the Ontario curriculum to gain a hands-on understanding. Whether we are exploring math through manipulatives or language through creative storytelling, I ensure the material is tangible, relevant, and engaging.

The Classroom Atmosphere

In our sessions, you can expect a perfect balance of compassion and discipline. I pride myself on being a caring and patient mentor who understands the frustrations students sometimes feel when a subject is difficult. However, I also maintain a structured, disciplined environment that fosters focus and respect. I bring a high level of energy to our work, ensuring that even the most challenging subjects feel approachable.

My Ultimate Goal

My mission goes beyond helping your child get a better grade on their next report card. I want to teach them how to learn. By building their confidence and providing a solid academic foundation, I aim to empower them with the realization that their potential for success is truly limitless.

I look forward to partnering with your family to help your child thrive!

About the lesson

Building Strong Foundations in English Literacy

As an Ontario Certified Teacher (OCT) specializing in the Primary/Junior divisions (K-6), I view literacy as the cornerstone of all academic success. My approach focuses on the dual pillars of English: mastering the technical "mechanics" of grammar and unlocking the "magic" of creative and procedural writing.

My Teaching Methodology & Techniques

I utilize a Balanced Literacy Approach aligned with the latest Ontario Curriculum updates and the Science of Reading. My techniques include:

Explicit Instruction for Grammar: I believe grammar is the "skeleton" of good writing. I teach parts of speech, punctuation, and sentence structure through direct, clear instruction so students have the tools they need to be understood.

The Workshop Model: For writing, I use a "Writer’s Workshop" style. We brainstorm together, I provide a mini-lesson on a specific skill, and then the student engages in active writing while I provide real-time coaching.

Scaffolding for Creativity: Many students feel "stuck" when facing a blank page. I use graphic organizers, story starters, and "hands-on" prompts to help them tap into their creativity for both creative stories and procedural (how-to) writing.

A Typical Lesson Plan:

A quick word game or "grammar hunt" to get the student’s brain focused on language. Focused instruction on a specific mechanical skill (e.g., using commas, verb tenses, or proper capitalization) using interactive exercises. We look at a short, excellent piece of writing (creative or procedural) to analyze how the author did it. The student applies the grammar skill and the mentor text style to their own writing. I sit "shoulder-to-shoulder" with them to offer immediate feedback. The student reads their favorite sentence or paragraph aloud, celebrating their progress and setting a goal for the next session.

OCT Expertise: I am fully trained in the Ontario Achievement Chart. I know exactly how your child’s teacher is grading their "Communication" and "Organization" in writing.

I don't just teach students what to write; I teach them why we use certain structures. This builds a deeper understanding that lasts a lifetime.

I make writing hands-on. If we are doing "Procedural Writing," we might actually walk through the steps of a task to ensure their instructions are clear and logical.

Because I chose teaching as my second career, I bring a level of patience, life experience, and genuine enthusiasm that makes students feel safe to take risks with their writing.

Who These Lessons Are For:

I support students from Kindergarten through Grade 6.

Early Readers/Writers (K-2): Focus on phonics, sight words, and building the confidence to put "pencil to paper."

Developing Writers (3-6): Focus on paragraph structure, complex grammar, persuasive essays, and imaginative creative writing.

Specific Needs: I am experienced in adapting lessons for students who struggle with fine motor skills (the physical act of writing) or those who need extra help with executive functioning and organizing their thoughts.
