Summary
With a lifelong passion for education and a strong belief in the transformative power of learning, I recently completed my Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Primary Education with Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). My experiences during placements in Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 have provided me with an in-depth understanding of curriculum delivery and child development. These experiences have further affirmed my commitment to fostering inclusive, engaging, and supportive classroom environments. I take pride in my ability to adapt lessons to meet the diverse needs of learners, particularly EAL and SEND pupils, through innovative planning, scaffolded instruction, and differentiated learning strategies. Collaboration with families has underscored for me the importance of parental involvement in student progress. I am now eager to commence my teaching career abroad, where I can develop as an educator within a culturally diverse and internationally minded school community. I bring to this endeavour a strong work ethic, an open mind, and a sincere desire to make meaningful contributions to the growth and development of young learners worldwide.
