What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to foster student growth in a supportive environment, with opportunities for professional development and collaboration.

I am a dedicated teaching professional with a strong commitment to creating a nurturing and safe learning environment for all students. My experience spans various educational settings, where I have successfully engaged children in age-appropriate activities that promote learning and creativity. I believe in fostering a positive atmosphere that encourages emotional, social, and cognitive development, ensuring that each child's individual needs are met.

Throughout my career, I have worked as a Childcare Teacher at Atlas ChildCare Center, where I provide attentive care to infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. My previous roles as an English and Science Teacher in Afghanistan have equipped me with the skills to develop and deliver effective curricula, assist students in enhancing their communication skills, and maintain strong relationships with parents to support student development. I am passionate about education and continuously seek opportunities for professional development to improve my teaching methods.
