** **** *****, ********, ** ***** C: 203-***-****/H: 203-***-**** email: ******@****.***

SUMMARY

Highly dedicated, responsible and top-educated professional with teaching qualifications, in both World Language (Latin) and English, in grades 7-12. Intellectual and people skills reinforce my energy and focus towards the classroom, as well as extracurricular activities. Adapt to working in high-pressure and diverse environments, requiring flexibility to lead and participate in order to achieve target objectives. My dedication, knowledge and understanding of children and their encompassing needs, allow me to relate to them with their own dynamic energies, whether they be intellectual, developmental, or social/emotional, while providing them with success, enrichment and the excitement of being a life-long learner. The Classics offer this rich and broad range of learning, through interdisciplinary and multicultural opportunities, to all students.
