I build inclusive, standards-aligned classrooms for multilingual primary and secondary learners.
ItalyWhat I'm looking for
I'm currently teaching kindergarten at the American School of Milan, where I co-plan Common Core early childhood units and lead Fundations phonics interventions for developing literacy skills.
Previously at Kings Tirana International School, I taught Year 5 and Year 6 English and Science through Pearson iPrimary and the British National Curriculum. I prepared learners for Pearson Edexcel assessments while leading SEL and global citizenship assemblies.
My work across Macao has included Cambridge YLE English instruction, K–12 literacy and language programmes, and the T.H.R.A.S.S. phonics scheme. I enjoy helping EAL learners build confidence in speaking, reading, and writing through differentiated, communicative teaching.
I'm an EU citizen and qualified educator with 10 years of international-school experience. I bring evidence-based literacy instruction, data-informed assessment, EdTech tools, and strong parent partnerships to inclusive, growth-minded classrooms.
