Experience
I am currently working as an elementary teacher for first-grade students. As someone who loves teaching and learning, I find working with children to help them overcome their classroom obstacles to be an incredibly rewarding experience. While I love education as a whole, my favorite subject to teach is English. I enjoy working closely with students and watching them learn how to become critical readers, eloquent writers, and excellent speakers. Another reason why I enjoy teaching English is because I believe that communication skills are some of the most important skills to have if we want to succeed in the professional and academic world. My teaching style is to break down challenging concepts into smaller, easy-to-manage pieces that students can digest at their own pace. That way, they don't become overwhelmed and forget the information that they've just learned. I also like to make my classroom as interactive as possible, which means adding a lot of books, visual aids, and materials that promote hands-on learning. By doing so, I believe students who prefer learning non-traditionally will benefit just as much as those who learn by reading and listening. When I am not teaching, I love to spend my time hiking and doing arts and crafts.
