Summary

With over four years of dedicated teaching experience, I have cultivated a deep understanding of effective pedagogical methods and a passion for nurturing the growth and development of young minds. Beyond the classroom, I bring over a decade of experience in sports coaching, particularly in athletics and netball, instilling values of teamwork, discipline, and perseverance in my students. As a bilingual educator fluent in both Portuguese and English, I am equipped to effectively communicate with a diverse range of students and create inclusive learning environments. My love for all sports, particularly athletics and netball, extends beyond coaching; it serves as a platform to inspire students to lead active, healthy lifestyles while fostering a sense of camaraderie and sportsmanship. Through my multifaceted background, I am dedicated to empowering students academically, athletically, and personally, guiding them towards success on and off the field.
