Teaching

I am an Ontario Certified Teacher (OCT) with classroom experience in Canada and Taiwan. Currently, I work as a teaching assistant for undergraduate music education courses at the Faculty of Music, University of Toronto.

During my time teaching in Taiwan (2019-2021), I wrote two blog posts reflecting on my experiences of teaching through the COVID-19 pandemic. I invite you to read them here:
