Summary

I am a caring, enthusiastic, dedicated and passionate educator with a strong foundation in teaching early years. So far in my course and teaching experience, I have demonstrated excellent classroom and behavioural management strategies, all whilst fostering a nurturing and caring environment. I am able to easily and genuinely build strong relationships with children and co-workers, leveraging my professionalism and amicability traits. I believe that I am well-organised and resilient, consistently portray a positive attitude and I believe in reinforcing positive praise in my teaching, and establishing a nurturing and safe environment.

Furthermore, as a Primary School Teacher, I am eager to help all students learn and develop in academic, social and emotional areas, and I aim to always adapt my teachings to be inclusive for all individuals.

Lastly, I am committed to my professional growth with ambitions to further enhance educational impact through my own innovative teaching pedagogies.
