Summary
I am fully qualified to teach English and early elementary school with a passion to teach. I have been teaching for 8 years privately and online for 2 years. I have experience teaching students of all ages and backgrounds, complete beginners, and children of all ages. I started my teaching journey by teaching students in China, France, and Panama, how to speak English.
With the rise of the pandemic, I moved my classes online and began teaching students my academic curriculum from preschool to third grade. I love to motivate my students and make learning a comfortable and enjoyable experience. I always aim to make my classes comfortable and allow my students to express themselves and have more talk time to build confidence.
With this experience I have accomplished online teaching successful in classroom management, student evaluations and test preparation. Proven history of improving student learning outcomes by adapting lesson plans to student needs. Dedicated to promoting academic performance and fostering social skills and character development.
