What do you like most about teaching and learning? What I enjoy most about teaching and learning is the opportunity to support students in reaching their full potential and becoming well-rounded individuals. Watching students grow, especially when they overcome challenges or make meaningful connections in their learning to real-life scenarios, is incredibly rewarding! Teaching is also a continuous learning journey for me. Every student, every class and every challenge offer a new opportunity for me to reflect, adapt and improve my practice. At the heart of it all, it is the relationships I build with students, families and colleagues - and the shared goal of making a positive impact that motivates me every day.
