Early Childhood Educator in Edmonton, Alberta

Greetings! My name is Marina, and I am currently a 1st-grade teacher in Brazil. I am passionate about education and dedicated to creating an inclusive and engaging learning environment for my students. This is my second year as a teacher, and I have been fortunate to gain valuable experience and expertise during this time. One area I specialize in is disabilities and learning difficulties. I hold a certificate in this field, which has provided me with valuable knowledge and strategies to support students facing various challenges. I am particularly well-versed in working with students with dyslexia, anxiety, ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder), ADHD, Down Syndrome, and other learning differences. Through continuous professional development, I have taken numerous courses to expand my understanding and skills in this area. In addition to my specialization, I hold a degree in Pedagogy, which has equipped me with a solid foundation in educational theories and practices. I also hold a degree in Modern Languages, with a focus on Portuguese and English. I have dedicated myself to improving my English skills, and I am currently at an upper-intermediate level. I continue to actively learn and develop my English proficiency, as I believe it is essential to effectively communicate with students and engage with a broader audience. Furthermore, I am learning French as well, with the goal of deepening my understanding of Canadian cultural habits and norms. By expanding my language skills, I aim to foster stronger connections with my students and their families, creating an even more enriching learning environment. I am actively seeking an opportunity to start teaching in Canada. I am open to working as an Assistant Teacher initially, as I believe this will allow me to gain valuable knowledge and experience with the local educational practices and methodologies. I am eager to contribute my skills and learn from experienced educators in the field. Additionally, I am in the process of applying for Permanent Residency (PR) in Canada with my family. We are excited about the prospect of starting a new chapter in our lives and immersing ourselves in the Canadian culture and education system. In terms of compensation, I am looking for a starting salary of at least 22 CAD per hour. I believe that fair compensation is an important factor in recognizing the value of education and the dedication required to create a nurturing and effective learning environment. Thank you for considering my profile. If you are seeking a dedicated and knowledgeable teacher who is passionate about supporting students with diverse learning needs, I would be thrilled to connect with you. I look forward to the opportunity to contribute to the success and development of young learners.
