Ash Patnaik

I have about 2+ years of experience in teaching students of different ages, backgrounds, and cultures that has equipped me with the necessary skills to understand the learning needs of diverse learners. My experience in teaching underprivileged students in India has taught me to be patient, empathetic, and flexible while dealing with students who come from challenging socio-economic backgrounds.

My experience in teaching children in France has enabled me to create engaging and interactive lessons that incorporate different learning styles and abilities for example, music, dance, hearing sounds, flashcards, etc. I have developed efficient rubrics for assessing language development in the class, taking into account the varying ages of the students. These rubrics have helped me to track the progress of my students and provide them with targeted feedback to improve their communication skills.

I am passionate about teaching and helping others improve their communication skills. Therefore, a position that involves teaching or mentoring aligns with my career expectations.
