English Teacher/Counselor

Hello Friends
07.2016 - 08.2019

In Basilicata, there are often small towns that share one school for elementary/middle school, and then have the children attend high school in the closest major city. However, throughout their early education, access to proper English language learning is limited, thus I taught English to better enrich the students' language skills so that they are able to thrive academically.

  • Prepared and implemented weekly lesson plans for three classes (each a different age group) to meet the goals of the program
  • Assessed over 50 students' progress and provided feedback to improve performance and establish academic success.
  • Developed innovative lesson plans to engage students in English language learning both inside the classroom and through activities outdoors.
  • Established classroom management boundaries to create safe and active environment for positive behavior among students
  • Educated students on the basics of English grammar and conversational speaking to prepare them for the academic year.
