I am a very motivated, ambitious and hard working teacher of languages with more than 8 years experience in teaching French in the UK and outside of the UK. My teaching journey started in Romania, straight after I have finished my university in my home country. I have clearly and effectively transmitted my knowledge and making my lessons fun and enjoyable while I could see my students grow in confidence and interest in learning a new language. Carrying on I have moved my skills to England, when I have joined my family in 2010. In the beginning I have taught mainly privately, learning how to tailor the content of my lessons to both very needy but also extremely talented children and I have admired the results, strength and confidence of each of my private students. In 2014 I have joined a local school, Northwood School , as an EAL teacher first, role that has taught me a lot, from approaching non English language students to working on destroying the barriers to access education to all students. I have provided differentiated work for the most vulnerable and demanding students, I have spent my time in making my materials accessible and tailor-needs made. Moving on in the same school I have taken a class of very demanding and weak year 9 of French. I was responsible of teaching a GCSE class of 19 students and there were times when the behaviour had to be monitored and controlled with enforcing rules and sanctions in order for the teaching to happen. I kept my calm and passion for teaching and I have managed to deliver my lessons in a desirable atmosphere always reminding the students of the need to learn a language which is more than a GCSE exam, but it is a precious life skill. I have left Northwood while in maternity leave and started my own private tutoring company, but after a couple of years my passion for teaching in a school environment have drawn me back and in January 2022 I have been slowly starting to teach little by little as a supply teacher. I am delighted to apply for the position of MFL teacher at your school. |
