I am responsible, organized, patient, and easy to communicate with. As a teacher, I try to make lessons practical, engaging, and connected to real-life situations. My experience of living and travelling internationally helps me understand different cultures and communicate effectively with people from different backgrounds. I easily find common ground with students and colleagues by listening to them, respecting their individual needs, and creating a friendly and supportive atmosphere. My knowledge of English and French allows me to communicate confidently with international students and clients.

One of my personal achievements is maintaining a long-term career in teaching and communication while developing experience in several different professional fields. I have also participated in volleyball competitions and enjoy staying active and developing teamwork skills through sport. Travelling to more than 20 countries has helped me become more open-minded, adaptable, and comfortable communicating with people from different cultures.

Lifestyle:

I enjoy an active lifestyle and regularly play volleyball. I have also participated in LVL volleyball competitions, which has strengthened my teamwork, discipline, and communication skills. My other hobbies include fishing and snowboarding. I enjoy travelling and have visited more than 20 countries. Travelling is especially important to me because it gives me an opportunity to discover new cultures, meet different people, practice foreign languages, and gain new perspectives. I am fluent in English and have a strong knowledge of French, which I have also used professionally as a teacher and when communicating with international clients.

Dreams & Ambitions:

My ambition is to continue developing as an educator and contribute to the growth, education, and personal development of children in an international and multicultural environment. With many years of experience teaching English and French, I would like to use my knowledge, practical experience, and modern educational technologies to make learning engaging, meaningful, and accessible for every child. I am particularly interested in combining traditional teaching methods with digital tools, interactive learning, and creative approaches that encourage children to be curious, independent, and confident. I believe that a teacher can inspire not only through knowledge, but also through their own example, enthusiasm, and attitude towards learning and life. My goal is to keep improving my teaching skills, explore new educational technologies and methodologies, and create a positive learning environment where children feel motivated to learn, communicate, and discover their potential.
