I am a California native who was transplanted to the UK at a young age and grew up mostly in London. My first teaching experiences were in primary schools in the 1980s. It was a very progressive time for education in the UK and there was great emphasis on the importance of play, as well as individual learning paths. On moving back to the US I spent many years working with independent study students and other forms of alternative education. I have a particular enthusiasm for teaching math through kinesthetic activities, and have a Masters in Elementary Math. I am thrilled to be teaching at Dixon Montessori again this year and have really grown to appreciate the benefits of the Montessori method, and the positive school culture it encourages.
