Summary

As a civil engineer, I have spent years planning, organizing, and managing projects with precision. But as a mother, I have learned the most valuable skills—patience, adaptability, and the ability to create engaging learning environments. Now, I’m eager to bring these strengths into education, helping young learners explore new languages in a nurturing and structured way. Passionate about childhood development, I believe that learning should be interactive, encouraging curiosity and confidence in every child’s journey.
