TEACHING EXPERIENCE

This is my twelfth year teaching. I spent eight non-consecutive years in first, a year in second and the last three years in third.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I believe school should be fun. I spend a lot of time thinking up ways to make activities and lessons interesting for my students. My classroom is full of movement, interaction and sometimes noise. There is structure, engagement and learning taking place at every possible opportunity.
