Career Summary
I am a well-rounded and very passionate beginning teacher seeking to explore my career in primary teaching. My
personality is very homely and I maintain strong bonds with those around me. Teachers have always been
inspirational because they dedicate themselves to their students education and well being. I aspire to become this
and more by exploring my passion for learning and providing the best supportive environment for my students.
