About Justine
Hi, I’m Justine, a university student at the University of Toronto studying Criminology, Law, and Society, a program that emphasizes critical thinking, reading, and writing. I have always been passionate about English and enjoy helping others develop strong reading and writing skills. Through my coursework, I’ve gained experience analyzing texts, organizing ideas, and communicating clearly, skills that I bring directly into my teaching. I am patient, encouraging, and creative in my approach, always looking for ways to make learning engaging and meaningful. For grades 1–5, I use a creative, associative approach with imaginative analogies, interactive reading, storytelling, and fun writing prompts to make learning memorable and enjoyable. My goal is to create a supportive and motivating environment where students gain confidence, strengthen their skills, and develop a genuine love for reading and writing.
