My Teaching Philosophy 👩‍🏫

I believe that education is not about passive reception but active engagement, not about extinguishing curiosity but igniting a lifelong thirst for knowledge. 

                                        

In my opinion, a teacher is typically considered a facilitator of learning, responsible for imparting knowledge and fostering critical thinking and creativity through incorporating collaborative works within the classroom. My ESL teaching experience has always fostered me to see myself as a wizard, and my classroom as a place where extraordinary things happen through the interaction of the students. Combining the magic with sound pedagogy can create a truly transformative ESL learning experience for my students. I believe that each student is unique and has different interests, abilities, and paces of learning. Through magical power, it is my responsibility to shed light in order to increase their academic performances and give rewards when they reach the outcomes.

My teaching style is mainly focused on student-centered learning and I provide the best methods and strategies necessary to promote the interaction within the classroom. All children have enormous God-given potential and as a teacher, I should assist each child in developing their own learning styles fostering flexibility in the classroom neglecting their social conditions. 

Incorporating active learning strategies namely, hands-on activities, discussions, and group work helps me to create and maintain a positive learning environment. I leverage visual aids and technology to create an organized, inviting classroom that caters to diverse learning styles. Also, I firmly believe that cooperative learning increases the interaction of the students, and this paves the way for enhancing the learning process.

Moreover, I believe amalgamating theories like Social Constructivism and Behaviorism into my teaching is immensely attributed to uplifting my teaching philosophy and increasing academic performance.
