Familiar with many renowned educational philosophies, aimed at supporting a child academically, emotionally, and socially. Bringing forth dedication, skill, and the desire to positively impact the lives of children. I have accumulated 11 years of applicable knowledge within the field of teaching particularly in Elementary and EYFS setting. I strongly understand how to deal with different types of children from different backgrounds.
