Hi, I’m Rovielyn, originally from the Philippines—the Pearl of the Orient Seas. I moved to Canada in 2016 with my two sisters, starting a new chapter in a country that quickly began to feel like home. My journey into teaching began long before I arrived here: back in the Philippines, I taught children in Sunday school. Those early moments with curious kids showed me how powerful learning can be and how a little encouragement can help a child discover their strengths. That sense of purpose stayed with me as I pursued a career in education.

I earned an Educational Assistant certificate and proudly graduated in 2023. Becoming an EA was a meaningful step, because it let me support students directly in classrooms, which I loved. Yet, through my hands-on work, I realized there was more I could do to help children grow—not just academically, but emotionally and socially as well. I want to be a force for positive change in their lives, guiding them toward confidence, resilience, and a love of learning. I’m the kind of teacher who shows up—whether it’s watching a school game, cheering at a dance recital, or simply being present at recess. I believe that presence matters; it communicates care, consistency, and belief in each child’s potential.

I live in a small, close-knit community where everyone knows each other. My former students still call me their bestie, and they often run up to greet me with warm hugs when we cross paths. That easy familiarity means a lot to me; it reminds me that education is more than instruction—it’s about forming lasting, trusting relationships with students and their families. I’m grateful for the chance to be a steady, encouraging presence in their lives and to continue learning from them just as they learn from me.

In my spare time, I love to create and unwind through crafts and baking. I decorate cakes, experiment with new flavors and designs, and I often work with my Cricut machine to make personalized gifts and décor. Crafting is my form of stress relief and a way to express my creativity. I also find joy in singing; I sing whether I’m happy or sad. Music lifts my spirits, keeps me grounded, and helps me share a bit of light with others.

If you’d like to hear more about my journey, my approach to teaching, or my hobbies, I’m happy to share. For me, teaching isn’t just a job—it’s a calling: to nurture progress, celebrate every milestone, and build meaningful connections with children and families that endure beyond the classroom.

My teaching philosophy is that every student deserves to feel seen, valued, and safe to bring their whole self to learning and to have access to a good quality education. I believe that students learn best when they feel accepted for who they are and when their voices are heard. In the classroom, I want to create a warm, welcoming, and inclusive environment where all students feel comfortable expressing their thoughts and ideas without fear of judgment.

To bring this philosophy to life, I will make sure to build strong relationships with my students by showing kindness, respect, and empathy. I will take time to understand their backgrounds, learning styles, and individual needs so that I can support them in meaningful ways. I will also use different teaching strategies and activities to make lessons engaging and accessible for everyone. For example, I can include group work, hands-on learning, and visual aids to help students understand in different ways.

I believe that when students feel seen and valued, they become more motivated and confident in their learning. They will be more willing to participate and take risks, knowing that the classroom is a safe space for them to grow. As a teacher, it is my responsibility to model respect, fairness, and encouragement so students can learn to do the same with others. By living this philosophy every day, I hope to inspire my students to believe in themselves and in their ability to succeed.

This is my ideal classroom set up, Whenever I sub as an EA or classroom supervisor, I always observe the classrooms layout and the teachers strategy when it comes to teaching. This layout can be use in any grade. The students arranged in small rows that promotes independent and collaborative work. And it has a clear view of the smart and white board. The quite area or reading area it provides a calm space for reading and reflection that promotes mental health. The teachers table and Educational assistant's table are positioned in separate corners giving the teachers have a clear view of the classroom and its easy communicate with each other specially when giving an activity and helping students. This set up supports student-centered learning environment. Its well suited for differentiated instruction, independent work and small-group collaboration all within an organized and inviting space. This set up is a blending functionality with comfort that helps the students learning.

I am an aspiring teacher; I love working with children and I love learning with them. I worked as an educational assistant for 2 years and that experience made me want to be a teacher. I want to be the voice of every child and be their advocate. I want each child to feel that they are safe and loved. I want them to be excited to come to school, to learn and have fun. I am a hard worker and very dedicated. I am currently working with the Local County FCSS as a Young Family Programmer 1 and in an elementary school as a Casual Educational Assistant. | Learn more about Rovielyn De Vera’s work experience, education, connections & more by visiting their profile on LinkedIn
