Tiffinnea R.

Hi, I’m Tiffinnea! Teaching has been at the heart of my life for over 11 years, and I’ve had the joy of guiding children from all different backgrounds—whether in Canada, overseas, or right here in our community. I’ve taught everything from art to cooking to core academics, and I have a special passion for supporting kids who learn differently.

Over the years, I’ve worked with children who have autism, Down syndrome, ADHD, learning challenges, and those who are learning English as a second language. My approach is creative, patient, and tailored to each child, because I believe every student deserves to feel confident, capable, and supported on their learning journey.
