Hobbies
Born in New Hampshire, raised in Istanbul, went to an international school and now live in Amsterdam. I've travelled a lot, meeting many interesting people along the way yet, children are my favourite to interact with. I've learnt a lot from learning in school myself and feel that I understand why children may not be understanding or learning something at school 'properly'. I have a very methodical approach in teaching. Often times teachers say "learn this, just know it, you don't need to understand it" yet I believe it's crucial to explain why something is the way it is in order for a child to fully comprehend a topic. If one understands the dynamics of a subject, learning it won't be as hard. I'm very fun, empathic towards children and feel that I am a good teacher, especially with topics I enjoy learning - I teach them with passion.
