What makes you a good teacher?

My teaching gives me an opportunity to help students develop both their logical thinking and their creative expression. It gives me the chance to see them grow in confidence in different ways. In my classes, I focus on making learning clear, relevant, and engaging. As a Maths teacher, I strive to show students how numbers connect to everyday life so they can see the value in what they’re learning. In Performing Arts, I encourage them to take risks, let go of their inhibitions, and experience the teamwork and creativity that come from working together on stage. The most important part of teaching for me is building strong relationships with students. I listen, support, and challenge them while keeping the classroom atmosphere positive and encouraging while inspiring them to do their best!

Achievements:

I founded a theatre-led learning institute in my home country, where over the years I have trained students in drama, communication, and creative expression.

Lifestyle:

My hobbies and interests are centered around mindfulness, yoga, and Pilates, which help me stay balanced and focused in both my personal and professional life.

Dreams & Ambitions:

I hope to expand on the work I began with my theatre-led school by creating more opportunities for young people to learn through creativity and performance. My dream is to bring together my passions for education, the arts, and wellbeing to shape learning experiences that prepare students not only for academic success but also for life.
