AVA T.

My name is Ava T. I am a student teacher at the University of Winnipeg in the Integrated Education Program. I am currently obtaining a major in French and a minor in Psychology with a focus in the Senior Stream. My specialized areas include French (all ages), English (all ages) and Kindergarten to grade 5 general school work. I have lots of experience working with students from ages 6-11 as I was a CSI Instructor through Boys and Girls Club Canada. I independently ran a classroom while guiding and assessing students on their academic standing. I modified my lesson plans to better accommodate diverse needs, all while making it a fun summer program! I believe learning should be fun and there is always room for mistakes, that’s how we improve! I strongly consider reading and writing a key component not only in education, but in daily life as it’s transferable into everything we do. I grew up speaking three languages and I believe that bilingualism is such an important skill to have. I grew up as a French Immersion student myself, and It has brought me numerous opportunities both professionally and socially. In my spare time, I love doing Portuguese cultural dancing for Folklorama, reading, walking my dog and spending time with friends and family!

KATIE M.

I was born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba and attended university in the United States on a golf scholarship. After obtaining my Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education degree I taught grade 5 for 1 year in North Dakota and am back home in Winnipeg for my 5th year of teaching, currently in kindergarten.

Teaching is far more than a job for me – it is my passion. Every day I get to make a difference in my students’ lives, helping them grow, learn and discover their potential. There is nothing more fulfilling than that “aha” moment when a concept finally clicks or watching a student gain confidence in their abilities.

I believe that the foundation we build together as teachers and parents will set your child on a path of lifelong learning and curiosity. I look forward to working closely with you to support your child’s growth and development.

MAGGIE B.

Hello! My name is Maggie B. (she/her). I am a 3rd year Faculty of Education student but 4th year at the University of Winnipeg. I am majoring in English and minoring in Psychology. Some of my experience with children so far include being a daycare assistant to children aged 5 months to 12 years, an educational assistant with students in grades K-8 and coaching! Grade levels that interest me most are 5-8. Although I have a passion for the English/arts area, I am still interested in history and sciences!
In my free time I enjoy baking, cooking, taking my 4-year-old puppy Penny for walks, reading, hanging out with friends and family, and watching tv. I also play ringette in the winter season and have been since I was 7. I met one of my best friends through the sport! A new hobby I’ve recently picked up is journaling! I find it peaceful at the end of the day to write down my thoughts, feelings, or even how my day was.
I am excited to help out and begin learning with you!
