Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello!
Welcome to Outschool! My name is Carly and I am very excited to have the opportunity to teach your child.
I received my Masters in Elementary Education from Truman State University in 2013. Due to my love of travel, my teaching experiences have been very varied. In the five years since graduating, I have taught kindergarten through third grade at the Escola Americana in Brazil, preschool at the Yoyogi International School in Tokyo, and second grade at the Canadian International school in India. I am currently teaching English online with VIPKid to students across the globe. These experiences have helped shape me into the teacher I am today; patient, flexible, adaptable, inventive, caring, and friendly.
I believe the classroom should be a warm and welcoming place where students feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and making mistakes.
I hope to see you soon!
