I hope to learn about how to effectively teach EAL students in the senior secondary levels (e.g., specific teaching strategies).

I am most excited to work with young people and help them grow as learners both in and outside of the classroom.

I want to analyse difference in teachers training courses in past 20 years, since I last studied. I have done MTESOL and choose Mathematics as my major this time. This is my secondary discipline.

I hope to become more proficient in teaching English to students for whom English is an additional language and to evolve in my teaching practice both in EAL and in general
I'm excited about working with students and being able to shape their learning experience and support them throughout their school experience.
I have worked in Adult Learning for the last few years but am wanting to work with students moving foward.
