Grade 10 Math Crash Course
A five-day exam review: 90 practice questions and a 40-question timed mock, every one worked in full, in print and online.
Curriculum & resource designer
Curriculum and resources for every learner, from young children to adults.
About 25 years of teaching across all grades. I design the curriculum, the assessments and the resources, and I build them with AI: I direct it, and I decide what actually teaches.

My framework: The Learning Conditions
Before any teaching method works, four things must be true in the room.
Cultivate Safety
Build the emotional, relational, and physical ground where risk-taking becomes possible.
Honour Agency
Recognise that children are already capable — and remove the obstacles that prevent them from exercising their inherent agency.
Speak with Intention
Choose words, questions, tone, and framing deliberately — language shapes how children think and feel about themselves.
Design Liberating Structure
Create routines and expectations that make genuine freedom possible — structure and freedom are not opposites.
How I build with AI
One real piece, from my plan to the finished resource.
I decide the plan, AI builds under my direction, and the checks decide what ships.
My plan
Decide what the course is for: five topics, five days, a mock that shares nothing with the practice.
One bank
One question bank, built against that plan, in a fixed record format.
The checks
130 of 130 answers re-computed from scratch, with 0 mismatches.
What shipped
A printed workbook and a self-paced site, every question worked in full.
Selected work
Units, courses and tools, each with its reasoning written down.
Grade 3 Science Programme
Sixteen assessments that open when the class is ready, with exemplars at three levels, so a lost week moves nothing.
Master Growing Success
Self-paced professional learning for teachers on Ontario’s assessment policy: five modules, each ending in a one-page takeaway.
Second-Year University Physiology — Week 1 Cases
A 95-minute case session in which students commit to an answer before the reasoning opens.
Session design only; walkthrough on request.
Math at Home
Nine units for the adult at the kitchen table: three-minute games and a Check that reports to the adult, never ranks the child.
Classroom Tools
One-page tools that each do one thing: a fraction wall, area and perimeter, time, the equals sign, graphing and patterns.
Deep roots in education
The teacher behind the work
- About 25 years of teaching, from Grade 1 to Grade 12, and adults.
- Secondary: high school teacher at Newton International College (Sep 2023 – Mar 2024), where I wrote the lesson plans, unit plans, course overviews and course outlines for my courses; a long-term occasional post at Hodan Nalayeh Secondary School (YRDSB, May–June 2024); and a Grade 10 exam course I built.
- Teacher learning: in March 2024 I trained teachers in China at the request of Newton International College, I have run workshops on assessment, translanguaging and inquiry-based learning for about 50 educators at Hill Spring International School, and I have trained 100 pre-service teachers at H.J. College of Education.
- Leadership: Principal’s Qualification Program, Parts 1 and 2, and Grade 2 Team Lead at an independent school in Ontario since September 2024.
- For teachers, I built Master Growing Success, a self-paced course on Ontario’s assessment policy.
- An MA in Education, and an International Diploma in TESOL, Teaching and Training (360 hours).
What I hold on to
- Progression
- What has to be understood before the next thing can be.
- Clarity
- One idea per screen, named in words the learner already has.
- Feedback
- Specific enough to act on, and given while it still matters.
- Independence
- The product should make itself unnecessary.
Let’s build better learning.
