Vibrant and experienced teacher with a passion for success!
As a teacher my main goal is to inspire children to achieve their best and extend them beyond their personal limits. Teaching within the socially and culturally diverse cities of London and Dubai has enabled me to develop and refine innovative ways of engaging children with a variety of learning styles. My passion to celebrate diversity and use it as a tool to enhance learning facilitates my ability to create an inclusive learning environment, in which all children feel valued and are motivated to learn. A strong classroom presence and commitment to engaging my students enables me to foster a culture of motivated, curious students who are keen to continue their learning outside of the classroom. I would now like to further my career working within an environment that provides opportunities for professional development and enables me to use my skills that have been highly developed.
