About me

I am an experienced English Language Teacher with a passion for teaching and a strong background in translation and interpretation. Over the years, I have taught students from various grades, including high school, and have coordinated extracurricular activities such as Model United Nations. My teaching philosophy revolves around creating an engaging and interactive learning environment that fosters student participation and interest in the English language.

In addition to my teaching experience, I have worked as a freelance translator and interpreter, handling a wide range of documents and situations, from medical reports to legal texts. This experience has not only honed my language skills but also enhanced my ability to communicate effectively in diverse settings. I am committed to continuous professional development and have completed several certifications related to pedagogy and translation.

I am fluent in English and have a have knowledge of German language at intermediate level, which allows me to connect with students from different backgrounds. My goal is to inspire my students to appreciate the beauty of the English language while equipping them with the necessary skills to succeed academically and in their future careers.

I am also interested in participating in international educational projects and community service initiatives, particularly those focused on health and education. I believe that education is a powerful tool for change, and I strive to contribute positively to my community through my work.

In my free time, I enjoy exploring different cultures, reading, and engaging in creative activities such as painting and music. I am always looking for new ways to learn and grow, both personally and professionally.
