Claire

Holding a Bachelor of Arts in English, Claire's background in teaching English began with her employment by the Research Department of the Metropolitan School Board for four years. After her tenure with the Board, she received her Montessori certification from London's St. Nicolas Montessori Centre and taught at Mrs. Munsey's Montessori Schools. During the past eight years, she has run her own Montessori pre-school, and provided private tutoring of English to students ranging in age from 7 to 15, helping them earn an exceptional record of academic and personal achievement.

She believes that a child should see learning as an exciting and challenging experience. The Montessori Method is an unique cycle of learning designed to meet the natural development of the child. The patience, interest, and enthusiasm shown towards a child's achievements will greatly influence his/her desire to learn, and provide a solid bases for reading and writing in the future.
