I have enjoyed teaching at
YouLearn.ca for fifteen years and teach Science, Math, Technology, Business,
Psychology, and Career Education. As part of a district team, I assist in
helping many of our students find work experience placements which may lead to
exciting apprenticeship opportunities. In addition to teaching I have graduated
from a Master’s in Counselling degree which has been a valuable asset in
helping students attain greater success both in and out of school.
Outside of class I enjoy a balance between
outdoor recreation and continuing my focus on Psychology related topics. I have
been an avid follower of equestrian events and enjoy horseback riding.
Naomi Kleinschmidt
I teach
English, Socials, History, Planning 10, Family Studies, Law 12 and Economics 12
at the Portage facility in Keremeos. I am a UBC Okanagan graduate with a
Bachelor of Education and a Bachelor of Arts (International Relations major). I
also have experience with private tutoring (Sylvan Learning Center) and adult
education (Sprott-Shaw Community College) and hope to make a real difference in
the education and lives of the students at The Crossing.
In my spare
time, I am an active member of a historical recreation group. We recreate
aspects of life in the Middle Ages from practicing Arts & Sciences to
staging events featuring martial tournaments and feasts. I am also a
professional Middle Eastern dancer and perform both cabaret and folkloric
styles as an individual and with my dance troupe.
Cody Rivest
I am the math
and sciences teacher out at Portage, Keremeos. I have a B.Sc degree in
Environmental Chemistry and a B.Ed degree. Prior to teaching at Portage I spent
three years in S. Korea teaching English, which I recommend to anyone
interested in working and travelling overseas.
Outside
of school I like camping, gardening, and cooking. I also enjoy exploring new
technology. In the past few years I've begun learning music, teaching music, and playing
music. I play the flute and the ocarina - a very old
instrument that is popular in various cultures.
