With a Master’s in Elementary Education from National Louis University and a Bachelor's in Education Foundations from the University of Minnesota, I bring a strong foundation in student engagement and personalized instruction. Recently, I served as a Water Polo Coach at Evanston Township High School, where I developed tailored training programs and fostered a supportive team environment. At Evanston/Skokie School District 65, I contributed to students' social and academic growth, ensuring IEP compliance and creating a collaborative classroom. Certified in Red Cross First Aid and Lifesaving, I’m excited to apply my teaching and coaching experience in a setting that values diversity and empoweMe as a Teacher
My priority as a teacher is to create a comfortable, fun environment where students feel confident and supported. I build strong bonds with my students through trust and patience, and my experience in diverse settings has helped me break down complex ideas into manageable steps. I believe students learn best when their teacher is passionate, which is why I bring excitement to every lesson. As a facilitator, I value equal respect for all students, regardless of age or background, and strive to create a classroom where everyone can thrive.My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style focuses on making learning fun and relevant. I believe students thrive when their teacher is passionate and when they have autonomy in the classroom. I love working with people because each student is unique, and I believe everyone learns in their own way. Language learning can be challenging, so I encourage all questions and welcome challenges. While my lessons typically start with vocabulary, followed by grammar introduction or review, and end with a relevant game or activity, I always make sure my students have a voice in how they prefer to learn.My teaching material
