About Candidate

am a qualified and certified primary English homeroom teacher for 25 years. I mostly teach English second language learners. I am knowledgeable on the American and Cambridge curriculum. I coach and support the learners in chess, athletics, netball, arts/crafts and create reading clubs. One particular aspect that I love about teaching, is that I am able to create an environment favorable to learning and personal growth. It pleases me greatly to see a child being happy at school and learn to overcome their challenges over time!
