Summary

Having taught secondary students for over 11 years and university students for one full academic year, I excel at managing large-scale diverse learner groups while providing tailored instruction that targets individual learners' needs and wants.

Besides being a passionate educator, I am also a highly motivated learner myself. I am open to innovative problem solving approaches and willing to implement new ideas to practice. I especially love learning new technology and applying the new skills I learn to creating fun and educational content.
