My biggest strength is my compassion. I always have a smile on my face and I am very approachable. I am also resilient. Even if I am tired or if I am just having a bad day, my face never shows it. I never let negativity affect my actions or my work. In other words, my kindness and compassion does not waiver. I have been a guitar teacher for many years and I have become proficient in building rapport with students. I have a knack for engaging young learners and making their learning experience fun. My experience working as a music teacher and as a summer camp counsellor has allowed me to understand what it takes to be a fun but effective communicator. I intend to carry these strengths with me into the English classroom. After completing my TEFL certification at ITTT, I am confident in my abilities to conduct a classroom of young learners. While I recognize I have much to learn in the realm of formal teaching, my experience as a music teacher has allowed me to excel at building rapport with children and engaging them in learning material.
