Hello my name is Nancy I am a Teacher Assistant and at present I am working at a Primary School in Brisbane, Australia. I have been a Teacher Assistant for over 15 years. I collaborate, communicate with teachers in the classrooms. The Years/Grades I have worked in are Prep students (5 years old ) to Year 6 (12 years old). I work with students on Literacy, numeracy, alphabets, counting, soundings of letters in vowels and consonants. I work one on one alone with students with learning difficulties and other students who are verified in small groups in classrooms. We teach and assist students with the latest technologies in Apple ipads and laptops, also using latest Applications on ipads and laptops from reading, spelling, typing and maths on the ipads and laptops.

As I don't have a teacher degree, I do hold a Certificate III in Teacher Assistant. I have excellent practical skills and a good knowledge working with students for many years in a school environment.

I have lived in Australia for more than 40 years and English is my main language. I am very interested to learn other languages as well if it is offered to me.

I am a very friendly caring person with an outgoing bubbly personality. I like to help others whenever I can and I have a positive attitude.

My strengths are; communication, strong work ethic, teamwork, open-mindedness, and trustworthiness. In high school, I taught first grade elementary students for physical education. There I would teach the children teamwork and communication skills. I carried these lessons throughout college and my work life. In my previous career, I was tasked with communicating between the office employees, customers, and warehouse employees. To which, gained the trust of employees in the warehouse to rely on and to confide in. The same career to which I previously had no experience in, I adapted by routinely studying and memorizing each product by its name, sizes, and materials. In addition to this, I helped many customers with my fluent ASL skills to solve a miscommunication dispute as I feel very open-minded and believe that everyone should be welcomed in our community.

I have 18 years experience teaching ESL in Korea. From 2006 to 2016 I taught at middle schools with the EPIK program.

I am older, but am hardworking and enthusiastic. I am currently in Korea on a tourist visa and have all my required notarized documents for an E-2 visa. I am able to start working immediately.

My name is Sarah, and I am a fully licensed and qualified teacher, with over six years of full-time teaching experience in three countries. I have a B.A. in English and an M.Ed. in Education, as well as a state-issue teaching certification from the U.S.

My focus as a teacher is on providing students with the critical thinking skills they need to analyze and hypothesize about the world around them and their roles in it. I hope to give students a sense of wonder and curiosity about the world, culminating in their respect and understanding of others. I foster a creative and collaborative nature amongst students, fueled by curiosity and a determination to question. My goal is for students to be highly self-motivated and self-regulated in their education and beyond.

I have been an educator in three different US states, across different geographic regions in the country, and have served populations in rural, urban, and suburban districts. My student populations have varied from majority white, to majority Black, to majority Hispanic and Native. A constant throughout my
varied experiences is the transformative power of building strong relationships with school stakeholders. Some of my greatest joys in working with students are seeing the hard work of trust-building, collaboration, and respect pay off in ways that allow students to fully be themselves and succeed. The diversity of my student populations also inspired me to start learning Spanish and to become certified in TEFL so as to better support the needs of my English Language Learners. Even in my current position, I have found these skills to have a positive impact on my students. When playing games with my students, I choose question sets with basic, introductory vocabulary to minimize any disadvantage for students who may not have acquired more advanced English vocabulary. I’ve also been more mindful about adding realia such as photos, videos, and objects to illustrate our lesson topics.
As a School Counselor, my job includes teaching social and emotional skills to students across different ages and skill levels. Throughout my career, I would teach 3-6 classes per day in grade levels ranging from preschool to 8th grade. These classes would range in size from 10-28 students, each with their own individual needs. I have always felt a partnership with my students and work with them to determine what topics and skills to teach. I use needs assessments and student surveys to get a holistic picture of my students’ needs and what is relevant to them. In addition to using those needs assessments for determining lesson topics and student needs, I believe that level of student feedback allows me to know more about my students that I might not learn organically in a lesson. It also shows students how important their voice is in their education when I apply their feedback into the classroom. For students with more individual needs, I meet with them individually or in a small group to work on more specialized skills. These lessons are particularly rewarding to me as an educator, because it allows me to see student growth up-close and build closer relationships with my students.

I have been a classroom teacher for sixteen years. I teach early childhood, elementary, and middle school students.

I like my students to have fun in my classroom but I also expect proper classroom behavior. I encourage my students with positive feed-back when a task is done well and understanding when they aren’t understand the lesson.

I am adaptable with both what and how I teach. I like being challenged, to a point, in order to keep my job interesting. I am dependable. I will ask for advice when needed.
