Summary

I am enthusiastic with exceptional communication skills. I am creative and innovative. I have spent many years working with young children and adults in many different capacities. I love working with all age groups. From years of working with all ages, my passion for teaching has evolved and I now possess a broadened knowledge of different aspects of teaching. Teaching English, swimming and working in summer camps has made me more resilient and more aware of how to pinpoint each individual's needs and how to use my skills to help them.
