Bimi Woods

Hello, everyone! My name is Bimi Woods, and I am an aspiring and enthusiastic teacher ready to start on my teaching journey in this platform. I graduated from University with a degree in English Literature, and I am excited and thrilled to begin my career in teaching. Teaching comes naturally to me. However, my reasons for becoming a teacher are quite straightforward. As a teacher, I have the privilege to change lives—not one, but a significant number. As a teacher, my role is not just limited to being a mentor. I get to be a mediator, learner, collaborator, psychologist, writer, interpreter, translator, speaker, researcher, actor and animator, all within the same profession. It is an extraordinary role. I have no doubt that I am making a positive impact on the world while experiencing personal and professional growth. I find it truly gratifying to guide young souls and witness their transformation into amazing individuals. Yes, teaching can be difficult, sometimes underestimated.
