I believe that I have the ability to be able to make a great impact on children’s learning, by having a broad range of skills which allows me to be adaptive to each child's need. By having great understanding of children’s specific educational needs, it allows individuals to secure their best possible outcome. Therefore, I wish to educate and instil a passion for learning in young people.
