Accomplishments

One of my biggest accomplishment was trying to teach an ESL student from Ukraine who struggled with science because of the language hindrance.In order to accommodate this I used a language tool on Microsoft PowerPoint and a microphone to help those students to learn in their Slavic tongue whilst also learning the English key scientific terminologies . This was something I felt was a massive breakthrough and we owe it all to the power of technology!


After this, the school I worked at gave me the best teacher of the year award and this was one of my proudest achievements.
