I'm dedicated to helping my students learn and I believe that the process of teaching and learning needs to be paired along with genuine care for the child. This has been recognised by my past students and school as I was awarded the Most Caring Teacher award for three years in a row. This award is given to the teachers who have received a significant number of votes from the students of the school and after the votes are evaluated by the school management panel.
In addition, I am also NIE-trained in teaching children with Special Needs such as Autism, ADHD, ADD and so on.
