Summary
As a qualified Elementary School Teacher, with extensive experience in both mainstream and special education settings, I'm well-equipped to provide exceptional care to children of all ages, abilities and needs.
I have gained extensive experience working with young people in both educational and non-educational settings. Each experience from teaching, nannying, coaching, working in a crèche and summer camps, have all provided me with greater understanding of children. These interactions with children in a variety of settings in many different roles has enabled me to build positive relationships with children.
My experiences with children have highlighted the importance of creating a positive learning environment that is inclusive of all learners and has improved my ability in tailoring activities to suit the individual needs of the students for effective differentiation.
I appreciate the importance of the use of extra-curricular activities in contributing to the holistic development of the child. I am committed to creating an enjoyable, valuable learning experience for each child to help them reach their full potential.
