i want to share my love for English with students so their express their creativity and develop a passion for reading and creative writing. In my experience as a teaching assistant , my persistence has permitted me to comprehend patience when dealing with challenging behaviour that occurs in the classroom.

This forces me to evaluate my teaching style and reflect on new strategies allowing both student and teacher to grow and learn different things. This allows me to grasp that teachers need to improve their teaching style and pedagogy. Whilst continuing my journey teaching diverse students with different learning abilities its vital to work on differentiation and lesson planning. . Furthermore, I provide a professional online environment for students so this allows them to remain disciplined in their learning method and behaviour. I teach Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet' and succeeded in capturing the attention and focus of students in the classroom, who were not fond of Shakespeare's work.

This experience allowed me to observe how an infectious passion and catered style of teaching for specific groups can aid their learning and using different scaffolding resources can make a word of difference. I have taught ‘Frankenstein' and explored different themes and genres within this gothic novella we looked at persecution, distorted human beings and the significance of each character and why Shelly created such a controversy.
