WHO
AM I?
My name is Sendy and I help students empower themselves so that they can better contribute to benefitting the world in their unique way.
TEACHING APPROACH
​
I facilitate and support student-centric learning through enjoyment, creativity, and multi-level application and integration.
It is my aim to support through an approach that is kind, respectful, positive, engaging, stimulating and flexible.
Over many years, I have observed that each student is unique, with different experiences, learning styles, tendencies, habits and personalities. Consequently, rather than teaching by one fixed method, I draw from various methods including, but not limited to, Montessori and educational kinesiology. I believe it is important to balance methodic structure with organic flexibility and practical application that is directly and immediately relevant to students.
​
