What I'm looking for
As a dedicated bilingual educator, I am deeply committed to fostering student development and enhancing their learning experiences. With a strong background in inquiry-based learning, I have successfully coordinated bilingual educational programs at Colégio Liverpool, where I support teachers, students, and families in a multicultural environment. My ability to communicate effectively in English and Spanish allows me to lead planning and problem-solving efforts, creating inclusive and organized learning spaces.
Throughout my career, I have held various teaching roles, from English Teacher in primary and elementary schools to teaching assistant positions. My experience has equipped me with the skills to engage students in meaningful work, develop their curiosity, and ensure their progress through formative and summative assessments. I am passionate about integrating new technologies into education, which I believe enhances the learning experience and motivates students to achieve their highest potential.
