Jemari Garcia

My first teaching experience during my internship was teaching 7th -10th grade English in both private and public schools. I particularly enjoyed working with at-risk children. My careful preparation of lessons allowed me to break down complicated concepts into simple examples that my young students could grasp, which was rewarding for both my students and me.

Right after graduation, I was hired at Stonyhurst Southville International School. I taught for seven years. After that, I moved to Indonesia to teach at Mentari Intercultural School. I have been teaching here for 6 years now.

I tailored activities to maintain the interest of high-level students without intimidating others. Managing the differences in abilities among my students proved to be a difficult but gratifying challenge.

Through my teaching experience thus far, I have found the method of facilitating learning rather than dictating to be a highly beneficial style of teaching, especially in the secondary program. Being devoted to this assertion confirms that I have made the right career choice for myself. And I love to instil a love of learning and a desire for constant knowledge within each student.
