With over 12 years of experience as a dedicated teacher, I have had the privilege of working with children across the UK and UAE, teaching ages 3 to 11. Holding a degree in Education, I bring a wealth of knowledge and hands-on experience to my work, having supported students through both classroom teaching and private tutoring. I have also worked with children with additional needs, helping them thrive in a supportive and inclusive environment. I am passionate about creating a safe, nurturing space where children feel confident to explore, learn, and grow. I take great joy in suggesting games and activities that spark creativity and development, ensuring that every child is engaged and stimulated. My focus is always on making the time together productive, fun and enjoyable, while fostering positive relationships with the children and families I work with. Outside of my professional work, I volunteer at an animal shelter, Read more where I help care for and support animals in need. Staying active is also important to me, and I enjoy keeping fit in my spare time. My experience, enthusiasm, and commitment to providing a positive and caring environment make me dedicated to providing the best care or educational support for every child.
