Experience

I’m Ilinca, a mom, kindergarten teacher, class teacher, English teacher, and entrepreneur. I have been working as a kindergarten teacher and primary school teacher in Finland and Romania for over fifteen years. I live in Finland and I’m the mom of the cutest dumpling.

There you'll find lots of freebies and resources. Thank you for stopping by!

Teaching style

I prefer the child-centered approach to teaching: children learn better if they actively participate in the learning process, not just by observing what the teacher is doing.

My own education history

I have been a kindergarten teacher for fifteen years and I have worked as an English and class teacher too. I have a bachelor in English and Finnish Philology, a master in British Cultural Studies, and a bachelor in Preschool and Primary School Pedagogy.

Additional biographical information

From time to time, I will also post resources for toddlers and babies, because I create them for my daughter. If they're a hit, then I will post them here. :)
