@naomivigeland
Dedicated Montessori and ESL teacher with international experience.
I am a passionate Montessori and ESL teacher with extensive experience working with children aged 2 to 6 years. My journey began with a Montessori Pedagogy Diploma, which I obtained from the Early Learning Foundation, and has taken me across various countries, including Vietnam, Thailand, and Albania. I thrive in nurturing environments where I can implement individualized lesson plans and create engaging activities that foster children's growth.
Throughout my career, I have successfully managed classrooms, facilitated parent meetings, and organized special events. My role at Big Fish, Little Fish Montessori School in Cape Town allowed me to lead a class of 16 students, where I presented Montessori materials and tailored lessons to meet each child's unique needs. I am committed to continuous professional development, having facilitated teacher training sessions and created materials to enhance the learning experience.
