  Teaching in In the kindergarten early years setting. I enjoy working within a play-based setting and love working with emerging readers and writers. I am currently covering, ad-hoc, classes for the primary and the high school, though I specialise in teaching in primary. I find teaching very satisfying and I am enjoying working at the school whilst finishing my masters thesis. I hope to start working at an international school for the up coming school year, to learn and gain more teaching experience.
