English Language Tutor, AMI Montessori Guide, Special Needs Educator

As a passionate and versatile primary school teacher with an impactful 13-year journey in education, I wholeheartedly believe in the potential and innate talents of every child. My adventure began in Sri Lanka and led me to the Netherlands in 2018, where I've continued my mission of finding innovative ways to work with children. Currently, I'm teaching as a Montessori educator, specialising in the care and education of children aged three to six years.

I have experience in educating children in different roles as a Montessori guide, a primary school teacher, a private tutor catering to individual children's needs, and a qualified special needs teacher. These different roles have sharpened my skills and improved my ability to cater to each child's individual needs.

In addition to my experience as an educator, I also have conducted private music lessons in piano and organ for children between the ages of 3 and 10. With a gentle and patient approach tailored to each child's unique needs and age, I introduce them to the enchanting world of music. These private lessons offer young learners the opportunity to discover their creativity and the joy of playing and listening to musical instruments.

In my English language classes, I focus on enhancing the vocabulary, reading, writing skills, and grammar. But here's where it gets exciting: I also bring the flair of a qualified speech and drama teacher into my teaching strategies. This dynamic approach infuses creativity, expression, and interactivity into the language-learning process.

If you're looking for a teacher, you've found a fun, active, and incredibly patient one. I tailor my English lessons using programs to suit the levels and requirements of each child. My goal is to make learning a joyous adventure, ensuring that they not only excel in English but also develop essential speaking skills and confidence. Together, we'll embark on a journey of growth and learning that caters to the unique potential of your child.

About Me

I followed the bachelor's degree of Special Needs Education in the Open University of Sri Lanka. There I learned about educational technology for special needs students, the values of primary education, child rights and educational management. I also possess knowledge on how to adapt my school curriculum in an inclusive classroom. I also did many teaching practice sessions to develop my own teaching methodologies. I attained the DETE at the University of Colombo. Here I was educated on more advanced English reading, writing, speech, listening and literature concepts. I followed CPTE at the Institute of Western Music and Speech, in which I further sharpened my language skills. I also followed AMI at the Good Shepherd Maria Montessori Center, Sri Lanka, where I gained the practice and principles of the Montessori method for children.
I was a primary teacher in Colombo International school-Srilanka(CIS), in Good Shepherd Montessori House of children(as an AMI Montessori Teacher), and also Sunflower International Primary School as a Montessori Teacher.
Teaching is a very demanding profession, and as per my experience, I see my students succeed and gain positive results regularly. It is no secret that I'm greatly driven by their hard work and achievements. Sometimes I have come across children who are uninterested and very distracted in a learning environment but I as an educator use versatile educational strategies to encourage the hidden talents of students.

Degree of Bachelor of Special Needs Education, Diploma in English for Teacher's of English(DETE), Certificate of Proficiency for the Teaching of English(CPTE),Montessori Diploma(AMI),IELTS (Academic Test)

Experience / Qualifications

13+ years teaching at several established international schools/ montessories as a Primary teacher, as well as private tutoring experience to children of various nationalities.
As a dedicated primary school teacher with more than a decade of experience, I'm all about making learning an adventure for children. I wholeheartedly believe that every child is a little genius in the making, and I'm here to help them shine and communicate fluently in a world-wide language. My teaching mission? Boosting those English skills! We're diving into the exciting world of vocabulary, reading, writing, speaking and grammar. But here's the twist: I'm not your typical English teacher. I'm also a certified speech and drama educator. So, we're not just learning; we're acting it out, playing with words, and having a wonderful learning experience along the way. To add to that, I also have good experience in tutoring expat families. I get that moving to a new country can be a whirlwind, especially for the little ones. But with my guidance, your child will not only have a good command of English but also increase in confidence in their communication skills. So, let's make learning English a fun and fantastic journey for your child. Whether it is through books, games, or a little bit of drama, I'm here to ignite their passion for the language and help them become adept in expressing themselves.
Drawing upon a decade of dedicated service as an AMI Montessori educator, I bring a wealth of experience and passion to the world of early childhood education. Specialising in children aged 3 to 6, I am committed to creating a nurturing and stimulating learning environment. In addition to my Montessori expertise, I hold a degree in special needs education. This educational background equips me to provide curated support for children with diverse learning requirements, ensuring a welcoming and stimulating environment for every child during my sessions. Beyond my classroom experience, I also offer private tutoring. This allows me to work closely with individual children, addressing their specific needs and fostering their intellectual and personal growth.

Sereina
Tutoring and exam preparation Spanish and English
English and Spanish are world languages and more and more people of all ages are discovering the opportunities that come with learning these beautiful languages - especially traveling and getting to know other countries and cultures. English is a compulsory subject in all schools and at all levels, and Spanish is also offered as a core or elective subject in many high schools. I lived in a Spanish-speaking environment for several years (Mexico, Spain, Paraguay) and also began my first degree in Spanish language and literature at the University of Zurich. I took an IELTS diploma in English two years ago so that I could study in English. I love languages and I really enjoy teaching them to other people. As I majored in Spanish at high school, I know what knowledge is required at this level for the exams and especially the Matura.

Carmen
English, mathematics and general school support from Primary to High School
Using my experience as a student, I first teach the vocabulary that will later be memorized through different exercises, both written and oral. This is how grammar will also be implemented. We will try to liven up the classes with short videos and songs from time to time, as I think they are a good tool to improve oral comprehension. If parents prefer to focus on general school support, we will work on the most difficult subjects, trying to give some time to each one, in a pedagogical and calm way.
