Dedicated history and English teacher with diverse classroom experience.
What I'm looking for
I am a passionate educator with a strong background in teaching history and English across various educational settings. Currently, I work at El Limonar School, where I provide tailored support to IGCSE students, ensuring they excel in their exams. My commitment to quality education is reflected in my ability to create engaging lessons that cater to diverse learning needs, including those with special educational needs (SEN).
Throughout my career, I have gained valuable experience in multiple teaching roles, from language assistant positions to cover supervisor roles. My adaptability allows me to thrive in different classroom environments, and I take pride in building strong relationships with my students, fostering a supportive and conducive learning atmosphere. I have also implemented innovative projects, such as a stock market competition for Year 12 and 13 students, to enhance their learning experience.
With a solid educational foundation, including a PGCE in Secondary History, I am dedicated to continuous professional development and creating impactful learning experiences. I am eager to contribute my skills and passion for education to a dynamic school environment.
