At Camp Kirk I helped cultivate a welcoming, supportive, fun, and kind environment and experience for neurodiverse kids aged 7-17. I created engaging and accommodating programs based around athletics, archery, math, and more that allowed for kids of varying degrees of neurodiversity to participate with others, and enjoy themselves.

I created engaging and accommodating programs based around athletics, archery, math, and more that allowed for kids of varying degrees of neurodiversity to participate with others, and enjoy themselves. In addition, I acted as camp counselor for various kids throughout the summer, where I supported them with transitions throughout the day, supporting their individual needs, providing emotional and empathetic support, and helping solve conflict through understanding and mediating. Camp Kirk allowed me to understand the specific needs neurodiverse kids need, whether it's the communication styles, the types of support, the sensory challenges, social struggles, and more. However, Camp Kirk also taught me all the wonderful strengths that can come with neurodiverse kids, such as the incredible capacity for focus, learning new things, brining energy and positivity wherever they go, and more. Camp Kirk taught me to be an engaging, understanding, and accommodating teacher and mentor to all types of kids. Show less

Tainan City, Tainan City, Taiwan

While working at AMC, I learned how to navigate teaching and communicating in different ways due to the language barrier, cultural differences, and curriculum. For kids aged 5-14, I created lesson plans in English to help encourage the kids to learn English, and engage them in a fun and educational manner. This included a variety of games and exercises, as well as creating a positive environment where it's ok to make mistakes. In these lesson plans, I would always try to communicate in simple… Show more While working at AMC, I learned how to navigate teaching and communicating in different ways due to the language barrier, cultural differences, and curriculum. For kids aged 5-14, I created lesson plans in English to help encourage the kids to learn English, and engage them in a fun and educational manner. This included a variety of games and exercises, as well as creating a positive environment where it's ok to make mistakes. In these lesson plans, I would always try to communicate in simple terms so that the student with the least experience would be able to follow along, while providing challenging exercises to stretch the thinking of the top students. In addition, I would provide visuals for those that prefer to learn that way, as well as for those that couldn't understand what I would be saying. When not in the classroom, I would focus on building connections with the students through various games and activities at my desk. Whether it was creating art, math puzzles, making handshakes, or practicing English in a fun and relaxing manner. This made it more likely for them to ask me questions and feel safe in how they were communicating in English. In addition, they would get excited for my classes, because they knew that the environment would be safe, fun, and educational.Setting expectations was crucial as well. In Canada, some teachers are more lax, however in Taiwan, it is typically more strict. I was able to find a balance between fun and positive, and ensuring that the students were respectful, whether it was to me, to other students, or to other teachers. Overall, AMC allowed me to become more confident and skilled in my communication and adaptability, while allowing me to foster deep connections with the students. Show less

While working at U+ Education, I was able to teach kids aged 5-16 about English, math, and public speaking, both individually and in groups. For math lessons, I primarily worked 1-on-1, where I would create personalized lessons for each student. This included an assessment of abilities and learning styles, and then incorporating games and activities, as well as including their interests, such as Pokemon or animals to make the learning more engaging.

This included an assessment of abilities and learning styles, and then incorporating games and activities, as well as including their interests, such as Pokemon or animals to make the learning more engaging. For English, I would facilitate story readings in group sessions while incorporating fun events throughout, such as "turning into an animal" when reading a certain story by turning off my camera, and returning wearing a chicken mask. For 1-on-1 English lessons, I created personalized curriculums based on rhetorical devices and other forms of poetry, such as Haiku and varying forms of rhymes. With this, I would search for music lyrics from their favourite artists andwork alongside them to find the varying rhetorical devices. For public speaking, I created a beginner's curriculum based on 10 weeks, including educational components, videos, and activities. In addition, I facilitated the U+ Toastmasters club, where approximately 30 people would join an online meeting to participate in and learn about public speaking. At U+ I was also awarded "The Hardest Worker" out of 20 other people, for my curriculum development, teaching, as well as leadership roles where I managed3 high school students in addition to my regular work.Overall, U+ allowed me to grow as a confident, fun, and kind teacher and leader, and learn how to facilitate classes with various ages.
