    I conduct my classes with “contagious” energy and enthusiasm to which my students respond very positively.

    They learn – and they love every minute of it!

    • Used innovation, a lot of energy, and positive attitude in my first teaching assignment. Created my own materials and lessons to supplement the curriculum provided. Went well beyond the minimum required effort.
    • Quickly established rapport with students and constantly looked for new ways to motivate and inspire them. Adapted a variety of sources to the classroom, including Internet, television, movies, and music.
    • Completed numerous hours of training. By the end of the year I was conducting training classes, and providing advice to teachers who had been teaching before that year.
