Summary

I hold a bachelor's degree in Spanish and German, in which I discovered a profound passion for teaching which was further solidified through my role at the Apollo Language Centre this year. I am dependable and have experience creating vibrant learning atmospheres to enhance the student experience. My ability to adapt lesson content and provide constructive feedback has been instrumental in my teaching success. Additionally, my multilingual skills have deepened my cultural awareness, which has allowed me to connect more effectively with students from diverse backgrounds. This cultural competence enhances my ability to create an inclusive classroom environment and support students as they navigate language and cultural differences. As I prepare to advance my expertise through the CELTA course at UCC this September, I am seeking a part-time English teaching position where I can apply my proven skills, continue to develop my teaching methods, and make a meaningful impact in the classroom.
