Additional Information
I have been a teacher for six wonderful years, and throughout this journey, I have had the privilege of teaching students aged four to seventeen . Each age group brings its own unique challenges and joys, and I cherish the opportunity to adapt my teaching methods to suit their individual needs. My passion for language and communication drives me to create engaging lessons that allow my students to express themselves through a vibrant mix of pictures and sounds. I find immense satisfaction in helping my students discover the beauty of the English language and watching them grow in their confidence and abilities. To further enhance my teaching experience, I am preparing to go back to school to pursue a degree in English language studies. I believe that this education will equip me with even more tools and techniques to support my students effectively. I truly adore being able to help those around me, and I am committed to making a positive impact in their lives through language learning.
