Summary
Hi, I’m Finn Bradley, a first-year Concurrent Education BSc student at Queen’s University. My passion for teaching and working with others stems from several years of experience as a sailing and snowboarding instructor. Through these roles, I’ve developed strong leadership, problem-solving, and classroom management skills in dynamic and fast-paced environments. I have plenty of experience teaching kids of all ages and even adults in both group and one-on-one settings. I thrive on helping others build confidence and learn new skills, whether on the water, the slopes, or in an educational setting. As I continue my studies at Queen’s, I look forward to expanding my teaching experience and exploring innovative ways to engage and inspire learners.
