I am a life long learner constantly seeking refinement and improvement of the teaching craft embracing new technologies, tools and pedagogies. Teaching and inspiring, high school students English Literature, is my passion and purpose. I am a student centered teacher: hence I teach predominately through analytical reading, through writing workshops and utilizing power of guided classroom discussion. I enjoy bringing novels, poems, plays and short stories to life in the classroom whilst creating meaningful connections to the student. I ensure a strong positive learning environment founded on discipline, respect and cultural diversity. I encourage my students to take academic risks within the the safe space of the classroom.
