Kate-lynn

My name is teacher Kate, and I am from South Africa. I would characterize myself as an ambitious and enthusiastic young teacher who hopes to bring positivity to each classroom. I am a positive person who has an enthusiastic outlook on life. I get a great sense of achievement from seeing my students develop and grow as individuals. I am an effective communicator, both in writing and verbally and I have a strong ability to plan and organize effectively. In my free time I enjoy dancing and socializing, as well as reading books. I have been teaching online for the past two years and I firmly believe that it is the future of education. I have previously taught kids in-person as a teaching assistant for 2 years in middle school. The kids’ ages ranged from 8-9 years old. My main r I would describe my teaching style as highly adaptable. I do not really prefer one teaching method, or one way of interacting with the students in the classroom environment, because in my opinion, each class is different, so is each lesson, and a good teacher should always adjust their teaching to their audience, the level of discipline in the class, the difficulty of the lesson, and so on. One of my teaching styles is coaching. Instead of offering answers to my students, I try to ask the right questions, and with the help of demonstration they should find the answers. In my opinion, the young generation lacks critical thinking and creativity. I try to help them develop these abilities, and that’s exactly why I prefer coaching to lecturing. Another one of my teaching styles is results driven. Since I typically work with students one on one, I always try to clearly define the goals with each one. Not what I want to achieve, but what they want to achieve.
