I am currently an IB PYP Grade 3 Homeroom Teacher in Baku, Azerbaijan. I am also the group leader in grade 3 and member of the school’s discipline board. I have more than 10 years of teaching experience and all previous employers have given me full positive endorsements. Besides Azerbaijan, I have also worked in the United States, Mexico, China, and Qatar.
Former employers have mentioned that I am knowledgeable and a caring teacher who shows empathy and respect for my students. They have also stated that I am highly creative and technologically savvy. I consider myself a life-long learner with high values and a positive attitude. In my own experience, I believe learning and classroom management work best when creating a safe, engaging, and respectful environment in the classroom.
I believe teaching is one of the greatest opportunities that life has to offer. There is a rewarding satisfaction when I see the progress and growth of my students. I do my best to make my students believe that they matter and can achieve greater things in life; I encourage them to take responsibility for their learning and make the right choices.
