TEACHING EXPERIENCE

In my classroom, I revel in the diversity of my students, understanding that each one carries their own story and experiences. I weave these individual narratives into my lessons, creating an environment where every student feels a sense of belonging and connection. I firmly believe that teaching goes beyond textbooks; it's about forging personal connections, acknowledging their strengths, supporting their challenges, and nurturing their aspirations. I love to employ a dynamic range of activities, discussions, and projects that cater to various learning styles. I encourage exploration and curiosity because I know that true learning stems from discovery. My goal is to create a space where students feel safe to express themselves, ensuring that their voices are not just heard but also respected. Ultimately, my classroom is a vibrant and inclusive community where each student is valued for who they are. It's a place where they feel seen, understood, and empowered to grow not only academically but also as individuals with unique stories and dreams.
