ESL Teachers

My name is Amanda, happy to greet you 🙂 I bit about me: I have a Bachelors of Arts in International Studies. I like to describe myself as an understanding and curious person with a calming presence. People would describe me as levelheaded with a good ability to lead and persuade. I will always value education first as it is the most important quality to possess in this world, to be knowledgeable so you can think for yourself and form your own conclusions. Knowledge is what keeps society growing and it’s people thriving. I thrive to find community and connecting with others. 
I have extensive experience working in both childcare and educational settings. I have over eight years experience working in educational learning preschools as a teacher for children ages 0 to 6 years old – including Montessori styled, play based and structured curriculums – emphasizing the importance of sensory and open play objectives. Working with these younger age groups you develop many skills that are helpful, such as patience, adaptability and learning various different teaching techniques that fit each child learning style. Through all my families I have encountered, I emphasis the importance of forming that strong bond to build trust and care. 
Additionally to my hands-on experience in early education, I have over 4 years experience working in administrative roles in high education departments. Fields including the Office of Global Diversity & Inclusion, the College of Education, and the College of Agriculture and Forestry. 
I love reading, nature, exploring and the way music transcends and reaches people in all walks of life. I value the strength of knowledge and appreciating other cultures. I have visited over 10 countries, I am intrigued of others adaption to life and society. As someone who studied in international relations at university, I am fascinated by the power of language and try to  know as many casual phrases in as many different languages as I can. One of my long-term career goals is to gain much more hands-on educational experience so I can strive for an administrative role in an international school abroad.

I hope you take great consideration of my application, speak soon!
