Professional profile
I am a native English-speaking nursery and kindergarten teacher with over nine years of experience teaching children from ages two to six in a variety of private school settings throughout Hong Kong.
I believe strongly in child-centered education with a focus on explorative and play-based methods. Additionally, differentiation for learners of different abilities is very important to me when developing activities.
