Professional Profile
I am an enthusiastic teacher with a genuine commitment, and professional attitude, towards teaching.
Having an interest focus in TESOL, and over 30 years Music teaching experience, I have developed many
creative approaches and strategies that allow me to cater for a wide diversity of students’ learning needs.
I believe that building positive relationships with students is paramount in a teaching and learning
environment. Building a rapport with each individual student helps me to understand their strengths and
weaknesses, which in turn, assists me to plan and implement lessons that meet the diverse needs of the
class.
I welcome the sharing of resources and collaboration with colleagues within the school community, and
have the ability to work as a member of a team.
