    Personal Biography
    My name is John. Below is a personal biography of why I work in Education.
    I am a teacher because I want to try and make a difference in young people's lives be it at early childhood or adult education level. I want to share my love of learning, create relationships with my students, listen to my students, collaborate with them, adapt to their learning need, and most importantly show empathy and patience when needed. I also want to create an engaging classroom presence and put emphasis on the value of real-world learning. I am interested in international education as i have already worked internationally. I have seen most of Asia and other parts of the middle east. I have IB PYP experience and I want to expand my career in education internationally. I am a good listener. I develop rapports with my students. I motivate them as i am a very extroverted individual. I have 12 years teaching experience in three different continents. I have learned that students in different countries have different educational needs and desires, the culture in Dubai for example is completely different to the culture in China and also the curriculums are different. My main achievement as a teacher is my own growth as an instructor. Which to me is because of each and every student I've had the honor of instructing. continuing to strive in my educational strengths and focusing and improving my weaknesses. I want to move up the ladder in education. Gain more experience in the field of IB and other international school curricula. Maybe one day to become a principal or even to own my personal set of international schools. I am a well-travelled individual. I can bring a wealth of knowledge to the classroom. I can get children and young people out into the real world and provide them with challenging, exciting and different experiences to help them learn and use of places other than the school for teaching and learning. I am a sporty person and I also like to dance so I can enthrall the students and the parents with Irish culture.
    Thank you Kind regards John

    Experience / Qualifications

    Good day

    I have twelve years in the field of teaching English as a second language.
    My family and I currently live in Gueliz, Marrakech.
    My family and I returned to Ireland in August 2022. I taught English to second language to adult learners in my home city of Limerick back in Ireland. I have experience teaching all aspects of the English language to elementary, pre intermediate and IELTS level learners.
    I worked as a preschool teacher in Golden Apple International preschool and kindergarten in Chengdu, Sichuan, China from September 2021 to July 2022.
    I focused on the characteristics of effective learning which are engagement, motivation and thinking. My philosophy focuses on how children learn. They do this by developing habits of mind, what I call the keys to success. As a teacher we should intentionally plan, teach and access against each of the keys in order to create resilient, adaptable, enlightened and ethical scholars.
    From September 2020 to May 2021, I worked in Shanghai Huaer Collegiate preschool and
    kindergarten in Kunshan, Jiangsu Province in China.
    From April 2019 to July 2020, I worked for I2 International Institute of Education in Chengdu.
    Previously to that I worked in the UAE for two years. I was an employee at Express English language
    school in Business Bay Dubai, UAE. I taught IELTS, Business and General English to Adults. I also worked for ES Dubai Edline Education in Dubai and Al Zuhour Private School in Sharjah.
    I worked for five years as an ESL teacher in South Korea.
    I believe my hands-on experience; practical working knowledge and academic qualifications will be well suited to meet your goals and expectations. I completed my university of Nottingham PGCEi in July 2023. I wish to expand my career in education. I am also TEFL and CELTA qualified.
    I have IB PYP experience.
    I am married and have a five-year-old baby boy.
    Yours sincerely,
    John

    Non-formal Latin classes. Multilingual teacher with 10 years of experience. Pronunciation, historical linguistics, semantics.
    Contrary to popular belief, learning Latin is not like learning the phone book by heart. I offer you Latin lessons that are unlike any other. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you take the train back and forth every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Learn the schedules by heart. 2) Note that the train arrives every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in study notebooks and in ordinary courses, it is the first approach which is adopted - in the courses that I offer you, it is the second because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both students and adults who want to learn the Latin language or deepen their knowledge without time-consuming detours through the insanities of school methods which do not produce results. Learning is easy but unlearning what has become a bad habit is extremely difficult. All the more important it is to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning in a positive state of mind. I offer individual or group Latin lessons (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive sciences and in particular historical linguistics. What will not be the subject of the course: learn lists of verbs; learn lists of nouns with their gender; learn words with their translations; memory card game; doing school exercises; follow the program in a notebook; impose French grammar on the Latin language. What matters to me in particular: motivate my student and give him a learning rhythm; encourage creativity; make friends with language; letters and their sounds strengthen your memory by working on the phonological loop; teach construction plans instead of having people learn sentences by heart; explain how the language works to make my student independent as quickly as possible; breaking preconceived ideas such as the gammatical gender would have a link with the biological gender, the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, the verbs would be irregular, the declension would be random and therefore to be learned with each verb... ; place practice at the center and articulate grammar around practice. In the context of a first course, you can get a well-founded idea of my pedagogy. I look forward to meeting you.

    French courses for students in school and students who would like to improve in the language.
    French is one of the most influential languages in the world. Knowing how to speak, read and write it while understanding the significant accuracy of the words used is an asset that unfortunately very few master. My lessons are based on my student's expectations, the areas in which he wants to work will be implemented.
