Description

Hi
My name is Maria. I have been a teacher in NYC for 23 years. I love traveling , writing, nature and dancing . I thought this would be a great way to get to know the people and culture of a place more than just staying at a hotel or air b and b. I'm super excited to work in different fields on here and to learn more. Hopefully, I can offer something that will also benefit you. I do have an EU passport, but I live in the United States (new york)

I live in a city and always appreciate leaving to go to nature. I consider myself a curious person with an adventurous side. I have usually traveled alone and love to meet new people. Maybe, I am an older workawayer, but I think it will be an interesting experience, with an opportunity to make seeing new places even more meaningful. I am able to speak Italian and a tiny bit of spanish. I consider myself very good at writing and of course able to teach as I explore.

I would love to help in teaching children and /or adults as it is what I have done for the last two decades. I love teaching and the relationships I have made with my students. I am able to teach all subjects at the primary level and feel competent also to teach adults english . I can also help with creating and implementing a new curriculum .

I do not have professional experience with animals, but have raised my own dogs, cats and for a brief time bunnies :) my entire life. I have also done several volunteer (Workaway and Worldpacker) jobs on farms and with home pets. I adore animals and would love a chance to also work with them.

I am also trained in mindfulness, coaching, positive psychology, and trauma release exercises. I feel very passionate about helping people to be able to regulate for better presence in the world.

Thanks so much for reading my profile and I hope to meet you soon.I have

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

Hi. Welcome to my profile.

I have been a public school teacher for the last twenty three years, fully certified in the state of New York in elementary education (general education), secondary education (7-12 English Language Arts) and Gifted Education (preK-12) I taught elementary education for 17 years both gifted and talented and general education. In the last 6 years, I have been a middle School English Language Arts teacher with general, ESL, and special education populations. I also have experience teaching English language learners both in class and with various after school centers as well as adults.
I am skilled in creating and implementing lesson plans in all primary school areas as well as middle school. Although I haven't taught high school and adults (aside from tutoring), I feel confident in my abilities to teach english as well as creative and technical writing

I have worked in other areas such as sales, medical assistant and tutoring one on one.
I am very eager to learn any other skills. I do have some technological skills, and looking to advance in this area. I am able to speak Italian and would love to learn Spanish which I can understand most of the time. I spent much time traveling in nature and adore animals . I have taken care of many in my life including bunnies, cats and dogs.

I am trained also in mindfulness, positive psychology and trauma release exercises and can help children and adults learn resilience
skills.
