This year, I moved from my hometown of Reading, Pennsylvania, USA to Opava, Czech Republic to work as a Fulbright English Teaching Assistant. I studied English Writing and Linguistics at the Univeristy of Pittsburgh and I am excited to put that knowledge to use here at Slezské Gymnázium.
I believe language is the key to human connection. Learning languages opens doors to new cultures, ideas, and perspectives. In the classroom, I prioritize conversation, using grammar and vocabulary as the tools to reach the ultimate goal of successful communication. This year, I aim to build my students’ confidence in their language abilities, encouraging them continue both their academic and personal growth.
