Traveling, teaching, reading, dancing, learning new languages.

I am a Penta and Cambridge certified British Curriculum teacher with over ten years teaching experience. I have a keen interest in traveling , teaching reading, dancing and learning new languages. The above mentioned hobbies and passions have helped develop my teaching skills. As a passionate traveler, I joined the student council team which enabled and gave the chance for me to travel to other states to help the less privileged children. 

My passion for teaching is obvious, as I have been a teacher for over ten years. I have enjoyed imparting knowledge and using different  teaching strategies and pedagogies to ensure that all learners are carried along in and out of the classroom. I love to read different genres and different texts which help in building my vocabulary and expanding my knowledge and imaginative skills. 

Being a teacher in an international British school, learning new languages has been very helpful as I have come across different learners from different countries. Trying to learn their language and communicating with the them in a familiar language helps to ease their uneasiness and builds their confidence to communicate more in and out of their learning environment. I have been able to learn a bit of French and Spanish at a beginner level.
