Hello everyone, I am located in Calgary, Alberta in Western Canada. I am a tourism teacher at a local college in the School of Hospitality. My passion is of course travelling with my family and with my students.
I have been to many places in Central and South America and I am obsessed with the culture and languages there. I am learning Spanish and understand the difficulties of learning a new language.
I look forward to meeting all my ‘new’ students in the Canaway program.

B.A. – Political Science and Sociology

I was raised in Canada, but have now been living in Mexico for 10 years. I have spent over 20 years working in youth programming from summer camps and cruise ships, to 8 years in the classroom as an ESL, Language Arts, History, and Literature teacher. Most recently I have switched to online teaching, and have 3 years experience in that area.
I love to travel. Since I worked in tourism I have now been to over 36 countries, and can’t wait to experience many new countries and cultures in the future as the world begins to open up again. In my free time I enjoy cooking, spending time with my friends, exploring new beaches, doing TRX, and reading.
I look forward to meeting all of my new students with the Canaway Academy!

B.A. – Languages. University of Alberta

Greetings! I’m a former Canadian biologist who has chosen to be an educator for the last four years. I’ve acquired skills and experiences as an educator in the classroom, and online for over 6 years. I have supported students from preschool to working adults within Southeast Asia and Canada. Through my teaching experience I believe that there is always room for improvement and there are benefits for acquiring new skills and experiences – the teacher is always the student. I think it’s important to share knowledge with people around you to help foster a love of learning. I hope to motivate students in ascertaining their inner strengths and abilities while discovering what truly inspires them.

Hello there! I have been teaching for over 7 years both online and classroom. I stopped teaching for a while and found myself going back to what I really love to do and that is teaching. They said, “Once a teacher, always a teacher. No matter where you go or what you do, you can never truly get out of teaching!
“I believe that a classroom should be a safe, caring community where children are free to speak their mind and blossom and grow.
I love traveling and dream of traveling the world before I retire 🙂
Hope to see you in my class!

Nadine Strudensky

Certificación: TEFL

B.A – Education: Specialization in Teaching

I was born and raised in the beautiful city of Montreal, Quebec in a trilingual household of French, English and Spanish. Growing up, I knew that my calling would be a language teacher. Not only because I would never stop talking and try rhyming every word, but also because every day I would spend a minimum of 30 mins teaching my dolls and stuffed animals their verb tenses and how to tell a story.
As I grew older, the love of teaching English only expanded and deepened. I went on to Concordia University and received an B.Ed in Education, specializing in Teaching English as a Second Language. I then started working for various language schools, elementary and high schools. With each passing year, I learnt new teaching methods and language skills to help my students improve their language and communication skills.
My main interests: Traveling, working out, yoga and walking my dog.
I can’t wait to meet you all! 🙂

Camille Dube

English & Social Science

Academic Coordinator

Currently I live in Kingston, Ontario, Canada.
I´m originally from a small town in rural Alberta, where I grew up on a farm and enjoyed the rural way of life. However, my passion has always been teaching. Thus I made a move to “the big city” of Edmonton, Alberta, where I obtained my Bachelor’s Degree in Education with a major in Humanities and a minor in Spanish from the University of Alberta.
Throughout the years I have worked in multiple capacities within the field of education such as a tutor in my younger years, and inclusion support coordinator at the post-secondary level for students with developmental disabilities, and as a full-time High School English and Spanish teacher. I thrive in my current position with Canaway because it allows me to connect with students and share my passions for language and learning.
In addition to my Bachelor’s Degree and OCT certification, I am currently pursuing my eLearning Development diploma.

Naomi Leece

Business Studies Teacher

Originally from the UK, now I live in Barrie, Ontario.
After achieving my BA (Hons) in Business and Management from Sheffield University, I worked in Marketing for 2 years before deciding on a career change and following my desire to get into teaching.
I began my teaching career teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages in the UK and Europe.
I became a Business Teacher/Lecturer in 2003 and have taught a wide range of Business courses to high school/college students and adult learners, in both the UK and Canada.
Helping students to develop and achieve their full potential is the main reason that I became a teacher. Teaching a subject such as business, that can be both academic and practical allows me to help students develop their learning skills as well as improve their understanding of the business world.
