Hi there! My name is Talia. I recently graduated from the Faculty of Education in Spring 2025. I work in St. James Assiniboine School Division and have five years of tutoring experience. I have experience teaching and tutoring grades 2-8. I currently teach middle years students, but I enjoy all grades.

Teaching is my lifelong dream and passion. I find joy in working with students and their families as I get to know their personalities and what makes them tick! The most rewarding part of the job is when students get to see just how much they have learned.

When I am not working, I love to try new hobbies. You might find me swimming, hiking, or crafting! I am a believer in being a lifelong learner and am always looking for a new challenge to take on.

I am excited for the chance to work with you and help you or your child have a successful year!
