Work History

Teacher

CSS des Laurentides
Sainte-Agathe, Quebec
03.2024 - Current
  • As a substitute teacher, I step into classrooms to support students and keep learning on track when their regular teacher is away. I follow the lesson plans provided, but I also adapt quickly when needed, making sure students stay engaged and feel supported. I create a respectful, positive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, and staying focused. Every day is different, and I enjoy the challenge of connecting with new groups of students, managing diverse classrooms, and helping maintain a sense of consistency in their learning experience.
