About Me
Introduction:
I am a native English Speaker. I am a very creative person and have a love and passion for teaching children. I am able to work under pressure and add value to were ever I work. I am very loyal and hard working. I will always do my best. I am currently in the process of getting my TEFL certificate which will be through soon. I have worked with children for the last five years, including special needs children. I look for ways to help children learn and not just accept that they can't learn.
