Experience
My teaching odyssey began in supply teaching, where I had the opportunity to engage with diverse classrooms and adapt quickly to the ever-changing educational landscape. Within a few months, I secured my first full-time position in a year 2 class, where I embraced the joys and challenges of nurturing young minds. Beyond my role as a primary teacher, I've also served as a teaching assistant. This experience has allowed me to offer invaluable support to students throughout their academic and personal growth. From peer-assisted learning initiatives to after-school projects and in-school support, I've been deeply involved in enhancing the educational experience of those I've had the privilege to work with. My journey in education has not only been about imparting knowledge but also about instilling confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong passion for learning in every student I encounter. I believe that education is a collaborative effort, and I am committed to creating a nurturing, inclusive, and stimulating environment where each child can thrive.
