What I'm looking for

I seek a student-centered teaching role where I can apply Jolly Phonics and ESL expertise to improve early literacy, work collaboratively, and continue professional growth.

I am an experienced primary school teacher and certified ESL tutor specializing in early literacy using the Jolly Phonics synthetic approach. I create warm, inclusive classrooms that promote phonics awareness to help children develop reading, writing, and speaking skills early.

My background includes roles as a Grade 1 and Grade R teacher, Jolly Phonics trainer during a national rollout, and senior teacher/caretaker in early childhood settings. I hold a Diploma in Primary Education, TEFL certification, computer literacy training, and ongoing Bachelor of Education studies.

I emphasize lesson planning, differentiated instruction, classroom management, and creative activities to meet diverse learning styles. I bring patience, leadership, and technology competence to support student engagement and measurable literacy outcomes.
