PROFILE
I believe that every child has their own individual values and abilities that they can offer to each teacher
as well as each lesson in a school. It is my role to inspire the students and evolve their talents even
further as they are the next generation. I feel I am more than capable of carrying this task out as I
possess many characteristics myself. I have great organisation and communication skills, which I believe
are a great foundation for any teacher to work from.
