Summary

As a preschool teacher at Fantails Childcare, I developed my skills in managing classroom dynamics and fostering inclusive environments. I developed engaging lesson plans that enhanced student curiosity and collaboration.


I enjoy seeing the benefits my students experience through my use of customized tutoring strategies, while effectively resolving conflicts and enhancing interpersonal skills among young learners. Through the use of informative workshops and customized lessons I have seen students blossom as they achieve new levels both fine motor skills and the mastering new techniques.


I work easily within a team and love supporting colleagues in and out of the classroom.


I look forward to expanding my knowledge of pedagogies and curriculums and finding out what other strategies and methods are useful tools in my teaching practice.
