Recently finished graduate school and received a Master's in Education, certification in Elementary School (primary level students). I will be teaching English in France at the primary level next year- I can't wait to meet my new students, continue to develop my French language skills and travel (while meeting awesome people along the way!)

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I believe that as an educator, learners I come into contact with can be empowered to create their own understanding of a topic, an idea, the world through multiple ways of teaching, explaining, promoting knowledge amongst learners. It's not a one-way street; individuals are most motivated to learn when the teacher provides them the opportunities to create their own understanding and find this knowledge on their own. Hands-on & inter-disciplinary experiences, traveling to a new place, experimenting, questioning, using visual arts & movement and pursuing individual interests are the best ways to learn. I hope to instill this not only in my future students, but to help others learn about themselves and create understandings upon meeting by lending a listening ear and sharing my experiences to open up somebody else's mind.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I am very organized and helpful around a house or apartment with cleaning! I love cooking (and wouldn't mind cooking a meal or two when staying somewhere), learning and sharing experiences-- especially with other people from around the world! I'm very interested in sharing stories and connecting with others, for just a night's stay or for a lifetime!
