Key Experience

I characterize myself as an ambitious, enthusiastic, responsible, passionate, and humble teacher. I have a great passion for teaching and safeguarding children. I cope very well with pressure and can adapt my style of teaching methods, when needed, to deliver consistent results. As an experienced teacher I implement effective behavior management processes in the classroom and strives myself on an ability to continually develop both personally and professionally. As an educator I strongly consider that authentic learning involves ongoing construction of meaning through a constant cycle of inquiry, critical thinking, feedback and reflection.
