Introduction: I believe that my educational training as an elementary school teacher has provided me with the fundamentals needed to be successful. Furthermore, my 5+ years teaching overseas has given me the opportunity to encounter learners of all levels and abilities, many of whom did not speak English as a first language. I learned how to adapt to different needs while providing safe surroundings to explore the world of learning.
My favorite part of teaching children is the moment when I can see the light turn on in the child's eyes. When he or she finally understands the concept being learned is a magical moment and experiencing this makes it all worth it. I also enjoy the fact that I can provide a safe and nurturing environment for a child to learn and grow in.
