My Project

In my English classroom, the focus extends beyond the mastery of language skills; it encompasses the development of a love for learning that will empower students in all aspects of their lives. I am committed to providing an educational experience that not only equips students with knowledge but also inspires a genuine enthusiasm for the journey of lifelong learning.

At the heart of my teaching philosophy is the belief that a supportive and inclusive classroom community is essential for learning to thrive.

I work diligently to create an atmosphere where every student feels valued, respected, and encouraged to express their thoughts and ideas.

In my classroom, I promote curiosity and critical thinking as foundational skills. I encourage students to ask questions, explore diverse perspectives, and engage in thoughtful discussions. By doing so, I hope to cultivate a mindset that values continuous learning and inquiry.

I believe in celebrating every step of the learning journey, from small victories to major accomplishments. By acknowledging and praising the efforts and achievements of my students, I seek to build their confidence and nurture a positive attitude towards learning. Having rewards, such as a sticker, is sometimes the 'sweetest' way to cultivate a love of learning.
