      English Teacher (Primary)

      I teach English as a second language to children in a privately run academy. We follow a seven-level course for primary age students and I teach the starter stages (children age 3-7). My responsibilities include monitoring the progress and development of my students as well as providing them with opportunities to explore their interests in the classroom.

      Early Years Summer Camp Leader

      I have also worked in the Globe Kindergarten summer camps where I had a class of 30 children from 8:30 am-14:00. Then a class of 15 from 14:30-16:00. During this period my aim was to create a fun learning environment for children from the ages of 4-5. We had weekly paddling pool sessions, daily outdoor activities, arts and crafts and story times. Our general routine was assemblies in the morning and child led inquiry afternoons all of which incorporated play led by the children.
