Experience

Teaching style

My teaching style is rooted in a gentle parenting approach. I establish clear and strong foundations for classroom culture and expectations from day one, ensuring students understand the structure. At the same time, I foster a safe, nurturing, and fun learning environment where all students feel seen, valued, and comfortable expressing their needs. This balance helps create a positive atmosphere that supports both personal and academic growth.
