Experience

Thirty years of being an educator in the public school in Romania. Created curriculum for Primary School and Junior High for Ethics and Morals. Speaker at teachers' conferences. Main teacher in students' camps. Equipped many generations of teachers. Published numerous articles about Education in magazines in Romania, Austria and Republic of Moldova.

Teaching style

Since I'm creative and proliferate, it's easy for me to adapt my teaching style to my students' needs. I use a suitable mix of the three teaching styles.

Awards & shining teacher moments

Sadly to say this. The system I come from didn't officially recognize teachers' merits. I had a few book signing at school, where my colleagues and the principal came to congratulate me. The greatest awards came from the parents who used to meet with me for a few moments and thank me for investing in their children.
