Our Story
Story Circles World represents a lifelong passion for reading and the teaching of reading and writing. I started "teaching" as a little girl growing up on a Caribbean island, Tobago, when I used to line up my toys in the front porch and deliver daily lessons. As I grew older, all I really wanted was to be a writer. Nevertheless, my wise and persuasive mother ensured that I became a teacher. So, I have taught - people of ages 4 - 64, in public schools and private language colleges, in Trinidad and Tobago, as well as in Toronto and Halifax. Now online, English language teaching remains a joyful, deeply satisfying part of my life.
