Summary
I am a passionate and versatile educator aiming to transfer performing arts teaching skills into literary and mathematic teaching skills to support children at the beginning of their learning experience.
The years of stagecoach performance experience, which included independent and group work and supporting younger children with their creative development, have built my confidence, innovativeness and leadership ability. My personal encounter with education has been constructive and enjoyable. I find acquiring knowledge extremely fascinating, and I am incredibly excited to embark on this new challenge of passing on knowledge to the younger generation.
