Zyairah, English Teacher

I am highly interested in becoming an English teacher at your school. I am not a person that goes through the motions. I prioritize creativity, passion, and professionalism. Helping children further their education has always been a passion of mine. Even though I have no official full-time teaching experience with children, I excel in personality and work ethic. I am a hard-working recent graduate with love for children. I take a creative approach to every situation by trying new methods. I am opened-minded and only want to get the best out of my students.
