Katerina Chamberlain

     I am a highly motivated, flexible and sociable individual. I am a strong team player,  approachable with a good sense of humour. I believe that these qualities and virtues could have a positive impact on my colleagues and my students.   I never give up and I always try to move my career forwards. As my CV shows I started working as a teaching assistant and progressed  into teaching. I   have a vast amount of experience in education and I know how to plan and meet smart targets. I am looking for a position that will build on my skills and knowledge . 

I can provide lessons that promote students' numeracy and language skills.  The fact that I am bilingual has enabled me to explore the English grammar and literature in depth. I am capable of explaining various complex linguistic phenomena in simple terms. I can apply this knowledge in any classroom at any given time. I am very resourceful and I enjoy producing my own teaching resources.  I really like printing my own worksheets whilst differentiating them accordingly. Right from my very first observation my tutors commented on how effective and smart looking my worksheets were. I like to finish my work on time and I have never missed a deadline all through out my teaching career. My experience as a nursery nurse and as a  teaching assistant has enabled me to work through the whole educational sector.  I observed how the theories of Piaget and Vygotsky tend to evolve on each individual as they go through the developmental stages of learning. A course that I attended in counselling and psychotherapy helped me to liaise with parents effectively and efficiently.
