ABOUT ME
I graduated from a college for nursery education, a school that combines vocational training with a high school degree. Besides usual high school classes, I had classes specified for working with children.
Thus, I already have a degree as a kindergarten teacher.
In addition to working at a kindergarten with kids age 2 ½ to 6 once a week for four years in Austria, as part of my education, I also worked at a camp in Canada for 2 ½ months with children age 6-16, I worked in a kindergarten in Peru, I already had the chance to teach English to a wide range of age group 9 to 60 in Peru as well and I did babysitting for six years.
Momentarily, I am attending ITEps and study to become and international elementary school teacher. This education enabled me to do gain teaching practice experience in a PYP school in Germany for 6 weeks and teaching in Austria in an inclusive school focused students with ASD for 2 months.
As you can see, working with kids has always been a strong passion of mine.
MY MOTIVATION
Working in international schools will give me the chance to teach children from different countries, with different backgrounds, cultures, values, and needs. Students will possess different ways of thinking with different background knowledge but through collaboration with other students, they can widen their contribution to each other and my knowledge and development.
I want to create an environment that supports students in challenging injustice and enables them to make a difference.
I want to teach my students to ask the question why and think critically.
To become an international elementary school teacher would allow me to be flexible in where I might live one day as I love traveling and living in different countries. When I was 16 I went on an exchange year to America and got to know the culture, the people, and the language. I also did work and traveling for almost 7 months in Canada, Peru, and Ecuador. After these experiences my passion for traveling and living in a different country and experiencing and learning from different cultures grew.
