My love of teaching truly stems from my love of learning. Seeking new challenges and experiences, allows us all to grow and develop. All children should have their talents nurtured and celebrated. We must raise the aspirations of our young people, foster their ambitions and allow them to become the best possible examples of themselves. To my mind, the primary objective of education should be to produce well-rounded citizens who positively impact society. I followed my personal calling to become a teacher so that I could inspire and motivate our children to develop their own love of learning. During my teaching career so far, I have consistently demonstrated my commitment to maintaining an excellent quality of education for all students. I have taught children from many nationalities and cultures and every single child has had their own unique perspective and needs.

Building relationships with my students is of the utmost importance to me. Understanding their needs and what they’re interested in helps to develop a nurturing classroom environment. One parent, whose child joined mid-year, once told me that their child felt safe and loved from the moment they set foot in our classroom. I hope that every child I teach is able to feel the same way. I am eager to meet my new class and learn all about them.”
