When working with children and youth in general, it is important to set and provide an example of exceptional communication skills as I have observed that children tend to mimic the adults and perpetuate the behaviour exhibited by those said adults. I have 35 years of work experience with children of various ages (5 – 15 years old), and I have worked in different countries throughout my teaching career. The observed copying of behaviour reflects a child’s need for a role model to steer their developing minds onto the path of success, and I believe that my professional experience is able to provide just that, and beyond. As a trilingual person (fluent in English, Russian, and Ukrainian), my lived experience in two different countries has taught me how to be more sensitive and compassionate when working with kids; my passion for teaching has evolved alongside with my skill in this career. I have been a Specialist Music Teacher in Primary Schools in Dorset area as well as an Instrumental Music Teacher (Cello and Piano). I finished a Music college in 1988 and a University in 2005. I am a flexible, imaginative, sympathetic and enthusiastic person, responding well to the children and their needs as every child should be provided with an educational experience that is personalised.
