I motivate struggling students by creating a supportive, engaging environment, using differentiated activities, positive reinforcement, and reminding them that it’s okay to make mistakes as part of learning.
Yes, I am familiar with a range of international English curricula and course requirements. I have experience with the International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC), IPC, Common Core, and the Readers and Writers Workshop model. These frameworks are widely recognized across international schools and emphasize child-centered, inquiry-based learning. Their focus on literacy development, differentiation, and student engagement allows them to be effectively adapted to support learners in diverse international school settings.

I can support business English skills such as professional emails and basic communication; however, my primary focus and preference is teaching Early Years and elementary students, supporting their foundational language development.
I help students understand and apply literary devices through simple explanations, examples from texts, and engaging activities, and I also incorporate educational apps such as Epic for online reading, Seesaw for interactive activities, and Google Classroom to support learning.
I encourage students to pursue their writing interests by building confidence, using simple, scaffolded strategies, and reminding them to always do their best and not give up, often drawing inspiration from stories like The Little Engine That Could to promote perseverance and a positive mindset.
