Attributes

I am passionate about teaching and I have the ability to engage learners in learning. I am patient and understand that every learner  learns at their own pace. I am capable of differentiating instruction to meet the needs of all learners.

I have a proven track record of success in teaching.  I love working with kids and helping them grow as learners. I believe that every child has the potential to succeed if given the right opportunities and support.  I believe that every school is different and that each has its own unique needs. Based on what I know about your school, and having a daughter who was a learner in Felicitas, I believe that my experience and qualifications make me an ideal Educator for a post at your school.

As someone who has been in education for more than 10 years , I have seen firsthand how important it is to have qualified and effective teachers in our schools. I believe that I can be one of those teachers and make a difference in the lives of your learners. 

I believe that education is one of the most important things we can give our children.

Reading, camping, cooking

I enjoy the outdoors, being in nature and experiencing the tranquil setting of a forest, or ocean.

I relax with a book, either hardcopy or e-book and this helps me to forget about the world around me.

New recipies are always an experience to test my cooking skills in the kitchen.
