Leslie: United States: Feb 01, 2018

I have taught a health class to over 200 students over 4 months in 4 different schools. Students were aged between 10-14 years old. I also taught and ESL adult summer course for 5 weeks. I have experience working with children and enjoy being around children of all ages (babies to teens). In one of my previous positions I taught a variety of subjects to teens that were developmentally disabled – so, they were at the intellectual level of elementary school students. We had activities such as dancing, singing, art, music, etc.
I am an easy-going person that can get along with anybody. I am a positive-thinker and optimistic. I have lived abroad before where I was the only English-speaker for about 20 miles, so I understand how it is to not be understood or be able to communicate effectively. I've learned a different language and understand what that's like. I bring those perspectives to this position. I also respect other cultures and values and don't pass judgement for any differences from my culture and values.
I enjoy learning and helping others learn. I am comfortable with public speaking and leading a class.
