ENGLISH EDUCATOR/INSTRUCTOR
Last Updated: 11th July 2019 (over 3 years ago)
Summary
I have immense knowledge of the subject and I have always shown unwavering commitment towards advancing the knowledge of my learners. My style of teaching has been eclectic, a blend of an array of methodologies and I always structure my lessons in ways that challenge my students to think critically, communicate effectively, write creatively, investigate thoroughly, work collaboratively, etc.
At different times, I play the multi-faceted roles of a teacher – an instructor, a life coach, a confidant, a personality assessor, a surrogate parent, a charismatic mentor, an inspirer, etc. I create a very positive environment for every student to learn in and I use apt instructional aids and adopt stimulating activities, with relevant materials, to ensure students learn and comprehend well.
I am a published writer (of prose and poetry)
