Martine Stevens

• I have always been passionate about teaching, and I believe that every student has the potential to succeed. In my previous teaching roles, I have focused on creating a supportive inclusive classroom environment that promotes academic growth and personal development. I care deeply about my students and strive to help them achieve their full potential.
• As an English teacher, I am particularly interested in helping students develop strong communication skills, critical thinking, and an appreciation for literature. I have a proven track record of success in helping students improve their reading and writing abilities, and I am committed to providing a challenging and engaging curriculum that meets the needs of all learners. 
• In addition to my passion for teaching, I am also very kind and caring. I believe that building positive relationships with my students is key to their success in the classroom. I take the time to get to know each of my students individually and create a safe and supportive learning environment where they feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and ideas.
