Summary
My name is Mascee but everyone calls me Che. I am a bubbly and friendly person who brings boundless energy and enthusiasm to the classroom every day. With a genuine passion for teaching and a deep love for working with children, I strive to create a warm and inviting learning environment where students feel valued, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential.
As a dedicated educator with years of experience in teaching children in the foundation phase, I bring a wealth of knowledge and skills to this role. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with diverse groups of students, each with their own unique learning styles, abilities, and backgrounds. I am adept at creating differentiated lesson plans that cater to individual student needs, ensuring that every child receives the support and encouragement they require to thrive academically and socially.
One of my core beliefs as a teacher is that building strong relationships with students is essential for fostering a positive learning environment. I strive to create a classroom atmosphere where students feel valued, respected, and motivated to learn. By establishing clear expectations, providing consistent encouragement, and celebrating students' achievements, I aim to instill a love for learning that extends beyond the classroom.
