I’d like to take a moment to reflect on my teaching journey, specifically in English, Drama, Media, and Film. My approach to teaching these subjects centers around fostering creativity, critical thinking, and practical skills that students can carry into their future studies and careers.

In English, I focus on cultivating a love for language, encouraging students to engage deeply with literature while honing their analytical skills. I aim to create a classroom environment that is inclusive and thought-provoking, where students feel empowered to express their ideas with clarity and confidence.

In Drama, my teaching emphasizes collaboration, imagination, and self-expression. I encourage students to explore various forms of theatre, engage in meaningful performances, and develop not only their acting skills but also their understanding of stagecraft and directing.

When it comes to Media and Film, my goal is to help students become savvy consumers and creators of media. I provide them with a strong foundation in media theory, while also offering hands-on experience in film production, analysis, and storytelling. By integrating both technical and theoretical aspects, I prepare students to navigate and contribute to the ever-evolving media landscape.
