Madissen: United States: Nov 01, 2024

I hold my degree from the University of South Florida in my home state of Florida in the United States and have spent years as an English teacher and early childhood educator, serving primarily Korean and Japanese communities. In particular, working at a language school in Düsseldorf, Germany has allowed me to manage various classroom settings of 8-10 children ranging from ages 5 to 15. In my role, I develop lesson plans tailored to various learning styles, cultural, and social needs. These factors are essential to my teaching methods as I desire to build an engaging learning environment that assists in building a foundation and long-lasting positive connection to English.
My teaching methodology centers on making learning consistent, engaging, and enjoyable while caring for the students with the patience, respect, and kindness they deserve. I instruct lessons that build language proficiency and meet the required learning benchmarks while inspiring a love for learning with repetition and engaging activities, always reminding myself to look at learning through the perspective of a child. I take pride in adapting to my student’s cultural and social needs, ensuring they feel excited and comfortable expressing themselves in English, even beyond the classroom.
