I currently teach Year 4 Cambridge Curriculum (U.S. Grade 3) in the Middle East for students with learning difficulties and English Language Learners with a variety of home languages. I've worked with many different curriculums and many different demographics of students which has indefinitely shaped my approach to learning and how to meet students where they are. I'm very passionate about early literacy and building the vocabulary skills necessary for success across the subjects! I hope you find something you love and need for your students.
