Experience Summary
As I've studied International Studies, I have been able to recognize the differences existing from one human to the next. I have learned to appreciate the cultural background of each individual and have learned how to communicate effectively across cultural boundaries. While teaching English to students in Ukraine, I developed the skills necessary to encourage and promote success with each individual child. I learned to appreciate the level that they were at and also to believe in their potential to improve on a daily basis.
Teaching Style
I believe that it is important, when teaching children, to let them know that you believe in them and are going to readily available to help them in any way you can. I am very patient and understanding as I see children struggle but also push them to succeed. It is important to me to have a positive and loving relationship with my students so that they know I am someone they can trust and count on as they try to learn and excel. I believe that each student has a unique potential and I think it is important to promote their strengths and also to work on their weaknesses so that they can be successful in the things that they enjoy. I believe very strongly in a well rounded education but I also think that it is important to maximize strengths.
