Rhiannon

Rhiannon grew up in rural Saskatchewan and made the move to Vancouver Island in 2011 to begin her post-secondary education journey. She began her schooling at North Island College in Courtenay and completed the final three years of her Bachelor’s of Elementary Education at Vancouver Island University in Nanaimo. Since graduating from university in 2016, Rhiannon spent the first four years of her teaching career working on northern Vancouver Island, mostly in a remote school where she taught Grades 4-7 and also worked for one year as a Learning Assistance Teacher. During these years, Rhiannon got to see the beauty of collaboration, multi-age learning groups, and project-based learning. In 2020, Rhiannon was fortunate to have found Tutoring…with a Twist, where she continued her love of teaching (and learning), working as both a tutor and academic advisor.

From an early age, Rhiannon has always loved to learn and enjoys sharing her learning with others. She believes that learning should be fun, engaging, and tailored to each learner as much as possible, and that learning can take place in a variety of settings. In her earlier years of university, Rhiannon was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to travel to Greece and Turkey as part of a university studies field school experience where she got to further study Anthropology, English, and History while immersed in Mediterranean culture. While Rhiannon is passionate about learning, she acknowledges the challenges and hard work that can accompany learning something new. She strives to help struggling learners overcome their fears and to develop a love of learning and the resilience needed to face challenges.

Outside of education, Rhiannon’s proudest accomplishment is being a mother to twin girls. As a mother, Rhiannon has the traits of showing compassion, patience, and understanding, all of which she brings forth to her teaching. When Rhiannon isn’t learning or teaching, she most enjoys spending time with family, swimming, enjoying the outdoors, singing, and cooking.
