I consider myself hardworking, approachable and kind, qualities that make me well suited to teaching. I am also patient, understanding and empathetic. Growing up with three younger brothers and attending an international boarding school with both older and younger pupils, I have met a variety of people throughout my life, and this allowed me to develop strong awareness of the different challenges students face at various stages of learning, both in their native and second languages. This allows me to support and relate to my students effectively. I am also confident and self-assured enough to maintain respect and authority in the classroom.

During secondary school and sixth form, I volunteered at local primary schools, teaching students aged 5-9 learn to read. As such I was exposed to a wide range of abilities and backgrounds, and this taught me how to adapt to best help each of these students. I also volunteered to teach dance classes to secondary school students aged 11-15 where I learned how to adjust my instructions for different skill levels and balance focused individual support with the needs of an entire classroom. These experiences strengthened my classroom management, communication, and time management skills.
