Meet Ilana, STARS Literacy Instructor

Hi! I’m Ilana!

Creating a learning environment where every child feels comfortable to ask questions, make mistakes and discover strengths is my passion

Teaching swimming lessons sparked my inspiration to work with kids and support diverse learners. This was the moment I knew I wanted teach, leading me to pursue my Bachelor of Education at Mount Royal University.

My area of interest is helping students with learning differences. Because I believe every child can thrive with the right tools and encouragement, I strive to build a safe, inclusive space where students feel seen and supported.

As a Literacy Instructor, I foster meaningful connections with students to develop their reading skills and confidence. Seeing children grow into independent, enthusiastic learners is what I love most about my career.
