Primary Teacher (Grade 2)
  • Delivery of the English National Curriculum to Grade 2 pupils (across all subject areas).  This experience allowed me to understand teaching in an International setting and gave me the opportunity to teach pupils of a younger age. To this end, my overall approach towards teaching has matured and I feel I am more knowledgeable as a result.
