Outreach Managers in British Columbia
Liz Barrett
Liz landed in Toronto in 2003 from South Africa where she had been teaching for many years. Moving to a village in Whistler, British Columbia was how Liz came across a First Nations Community in Mount Currie that ended up shaping her life in Canada. It was at this school that she first introduced JUMP Math in BC and she volunteered in those early days to support John Mighton as he started the charity. Liz travels extensively across Canada and the USA with her love working with teachers and parents to support them in teaching math well. John’s book, The Myth of Ability resonated with Liz, as in her career she have seen first-hand the incredible power of praise, combined with developing children’s self confidence so that they become resilient learners unafraid of taking chances or making mistakes. Liz’s favourite number is 13! Contact Liz.

Linda has over 20 years of teaching experience and her background is both interesting and varied. Originally from Ontario, Linda completed Teachers' College in Windsor, and her MBA, BA in Business and English Literature at Western University. She began her career teaching kindergarten, taught high school Computer Studies, Business and English in the Toronto District School Board, and worked with the Executive Support Team at Canada Trust, before focusing on tutoring for K–12 students in the Vancouver, North Vancouver area. Her interest and passion for mathematics specifically, steered her towards JUMP Math and it remains the ‘go to’ resource for her students. Teaching has been a common thread for Linda throughout her career! Contact Linda.
