Hobbies
I have a Bachelor of Arts Degree in History and Masters of Science in TESOL: Curriculum and Instruction and a Masters in the Art of Teaching: Special Education. In addition, I have earned certification in English as a Second Language (grades K-12) and as a Cambridge IELTS Examiner in both speaking and writing. As a highly compassionate and approachable teaching professional, with over 10 years hands-on teaching and exams experience, I am confident in my ability to become a valuable member of your staff. Being a versatile educator, I have taken the opportunity to instruct a wide variety of students from various backgrounds and all facets of society. As a result, I am a compassionate teacher, who remains sensitive to student’s unique needs, employs effective listening, provides individual and whole group support, integrate multicultural teaching units, and offers positive encouragement and reinforcement to keep students focused and motivated. One of the most effective ways that I assist ESL students is by developing and presenting comprehensible and stimulating lesson plans that facilitate all learning styles. I research, locate, and incorporate a variety of resources to accommodate students via visual, audio, tactile, and kinesthetic methods. In addition, I integrate literature, Writer’s Workshop, phonics activities, and technology to ensure that each child is able to comprehend and retain the concepts and language. My goal is to foster and maintain an open, honest, communicative, and supportive classroom, in which each student feels safe, secure, special, and appropriately challenged.
