Throughout my teaching career, I have established a proven track record as a successful and dynamic Teacher , teaching in a wide range of educational institutions which have included a Juvenile Detention system, College of further education, International schools as well as the Public school system.
Throughout the past several years I have been actively involved in driving forward a vision of Education Inclusion, with specific reference to raising the achievement of vulnerable children at risk of social exclusion as well as students with learning difficulties as well as gifted and talented students.
I believe that education is the key to success for all young students. As an Educator, I aim to provide a stimulating learning environment which will encourages students to trust their own opinions, while fostering confidence in order for them to realize their full potential.
Throughout my teaching experience I have learned that if students construct their own learning experiences they will experience the joy of scientific learning and become more confident in their abilities to achieve at the highest levels of learning.
