Laura Lammi

I am an inspiring and motivated teacher with over 5 years of experience in teaching students from the age 10-18. I have a lot of experience from working in international environments and teaching EAL students. I am known for my innovative and diverse teaching methods, supporting each student in reaching their individual goals. I am passionate about improving education and building a safe, enthusiastic, and collaborative school community. This can be seen from my experiences in developing various learning and assessment materials (for both in class and online use) as well as coaching qualified teachers and teacher trainees. Currently I am seeking for opportunities where I can continue with working in the field of educational development and leadership.
