Cambridge Teacher, Primary School

Ms Jessica

Country:

United States of America

Education:

Louisiana State University

Work experience:
I have had 15 years of active teaching experience. USA - 5 years, Slovakia - 1 year, Türkiye - 3 years, Indonesia - 1 year, Kuwait - 4 years, and this is my 2nd year in Uzbekistan.

What makes you a good teacher?
I am a 4th generation teacher, so I've been surrounded by talk of pedagogy my whole life and even attended some of my mother's education classes and professional developments as a child and started working as a teacher's aide while I was in high school. During this time, I also worked as a nanny and tutor after school, and taught gymnastics and cheerleading. I love to use manipulatives and hands-on activities to bring the lessons to life. I am not afraid to be a bit silly to help children remember a lesson, or to act out or (poorly) draw pictures to help them understand a new word.

Achievements:
I am proud of my adventurous spirit which has allowed me to leave my village and set out on adventures around the world, where I have gotten to meet amazing people and make life-long friends from all over the planet.

Lifestyle:
I love to travel and dance. Some of my favourite travel memories are being invited to teach English lessons at a monastery in Myanmar while visiting a friend there, and visiting the City of Petra and getting to know the Bedouin people. I will also always treasure memories of sharing meals or tea in the shops and private gardens of my friends in the Old City of Antalya, Türkiye.

Dreams & Ambitions:
I feel that I am living my dream of traveling the world and sharing my love of learning with others. I hope that one day I will decide on a place to settle down to live between my travels.
