I create inclusive, child-centred primary learning experiences across international schools in Hong Kong.
What I'm looking for
I've taught across ESF schools in Hong Kong, including as a Primary Supply Teacher and Year 3 maternity cover teacher at Glenealy School, creating safe, challenging and welcoming learning environments.
My experience spans primary, kindergarten and learning support settings, where I've planned EYFS, PYP and local curriculum lessons; taught English as a second language; delivered Jolly and Synthetic Phonics; and supported students with learning difficulties through individualised programmes.
I use assessment, guided reading, portfolios and progress monitoring to help children grow. I value collaboration with families and colleagues, and I bring drama, songs, crafts and child-centred activities into learning.
