Hi. My name is Abisha. I completed my Bachelors of Education degree at Brock University. I have a background in Child and Youth Care and am certified by the Ontario College of Teachers. I obtained my Bachelors of Arts degree at Ryerson University majoring in Child and Youth Care and minoring in Psychology.

Every child has the ability to succeed. I thoroughly enjoy working one-on-one with students to help them achieve their full potential. My educational approach is to identify each student’s learning style and then work to accommodate the students’ areas of strengths and needs through a program catered to each individual student. I believe that teaching requires collaboration between educators and students. For students to become both motivated and inspired to learn, I believe they should always be given the time to explore, be creative, ask questions, and become critical thinkers.

During my teen years, I spent many hours of my time volunteering at multiple elementary schools and at a hospital in the Pediatric ward. Throughout the summer, I worked as a camp counsellor and truly learned my passion for children and teaching.

Originally, I had intended to pursue teaching a decade earlier right after I graduated high school, but life circumstances took me down a different path. As an undergraduate at York University, I studied criminology and law & society as my double major with the intent of going to law school. However, I soon realized that I did not possess the passion to pursue a career in law and revisited my interest in teaching. After a few years of intensive work and reflection, I am now in my second year of teacher’s college at OISE — the University of Toronto’s education school. Indeed, one can say that my life has come full circle. If I had not received the support and guidance my teacher-mentors and professors provided me along the way, I might not have rediscovered my passion for teaching.

Something one of my grandfathers said to me over the years has stuck with me: “Education is not a destination, but a continuing journey.” This motto has informed my outlook on life, learning and teaching. With that in mind, I am excited to embark on this journey as a member of PAT’s team.
