About me
I describe myself as a positive, warm, and caring person. I value family, relationship building and an international environment. I am very passionate about children, their development, potential and aspirations, as well as bilingualism.
I was attending Music School for 5 years, where I was playing the flute and piano. Music has a significant meaning for me. I also believe that music is valuable for young children and could be implemented in the classroom, so that their experience is more enjoyable. Besides, I also believe in the power of learning through play and I identify myself with the idea of teaching practical life skills inspired by Montessori.
I have graduated from the University of Roehampon in London. I was awarded the Bachelor of Arts in Education Studies with First Class Honours.
My teaching experience
During my studies, I was working in the nursery in London mainly with two-years-old children, but occasionally with children between 6 months and 5 years.
I was fortunate to do my placement in the primary school in London, where I was involved in supporting Year 5 Teacher and the class of 30 children.
I had also a short-lasting opportunity to work in the nursery in Poland, near Lublin, mainly with one-years-old children.
How about you dear Reader, who is your inspiration?

Hello the most cheerful girl in the GPTE! :)
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I am so impressed by your interest in music! That's a great tool which can be used during the lesson to make it more engaging and lively. Children do love dancing, singing and moving, And what is more, that will undoubtedly help them to memorize some vocabulary!:-) Great!
This post was really interesting, it's so nice to know you a bit more. Hopefully we could meet in person one day!
Take care,
Natalia.
Hello Natalia
DeleteI am glad you see me as a cheerful girl.
Yes, indeed, music is a powerful toll, so why not to use it since it is at hand :).
I hope to meet you too.
See you
Dear Angelika,
ReplyDeleteI had no idea that you are sooo skilled! Your proficiency in English is noticible and perhaps thanks to music it was easier for you to learn the language. Some students say that the best teacher can play an instrument or sing so you are on the right path to their hearts ;)
I am also impressed by your magnitude of experience! Keep going and remember that you are good at it!
Wish you all the best our smiling girl!

Hi Magda
DeleteI did not hear about the best teachers being able to play an instrument, so thank you for sharing it with me. It is a different story with singing, I am not very good at it, but I truly love and enjoy singing :).
It is definitely an advantage to be a musically skilled person.
Besides, thank you for saying that I am good, we tend to underestimate our abilities. Sometimes the reassurance is something what we need to hear to be able to believe in ourselves.
Dear Angelika
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your experiences with us. It is good to know that you are such a talented person. I believe music is important and only real music lover can understand the importance of it. It is a therapy . Looking forward for your new posts. Wish you all the best!
Hi Naila,
DeleteI agree, you can truly understand something when you have a change to experience it by yourself. Music can be therapeutic and is likely to result in a positive mood. On the other hand, the music school was very demanding, but I am happy I could experience it, I have such beautiful memories.
Hello, Angelika!
ReplyDeleteThank you for a wonderful post. When i was a kid i also started attending piano classes, but unfortunately, i had to drop out, so i never learnt how to play the piano. Playing musical instruments is definitely an amazing skill. It would be really nice to hear you play us something one day :)
Hello Natallia,
DeletePlaying an instrument, but particularly practising and mastering musical composition can be really time-consuming. Remember, it is not something bad that you dropped out, sometimes the stress associated with the workload can be very overwhelming and then it is not worth it. Our well-being is the most important. Still well done for trying :)
I think we could arrange some playing time, so I can show off :D.
Dear Angelika!
ReplyDeleteWe have a lot in common, since I also studied music, played the piano and went to dance classes. But, unfortunately, I could not reach the professional level. I absolutely agree with your statement about music. As people say: Music heals all diseases.
I am impressed at the fact that you studied in London, it's great! Your English skills are undeniable.
I discovered you from the other side. Thank you for this interesting post! I am looking forward to reading your new posts:) Take a care!)
Hello Leila,
DeleteWow, good to know we have another musical person here. I love dancing too, I would love to join a dancing school. Thank you for this beautiful statement about music, I should remember it (Music heals all diseases).
I really enjoyed my time in London, it was an amazing experience to live there for three years. Despite the rain, I am still in love with London :).
Hello Angelika
ReplyDeleteI didn't notice that you are very skilled Your proficiency in English is remarkable and I could see that the art has big impact on your life and your education
I impressed about your blog.
wish you will be successful in your whole life.
Hello Bangin,
DeleteThank you for your comment and noticing that I am a skilled person. It is the outcome of me being very hardworking and dedicated. Many times I had to choose learning instead of having fun with friends, My childhood was very busy, in fact, I am still very busy in my life, but I do not regret it. We make decisions for ourselves and by choosing something, we are loosing something else :).
Hello Angelika, It was very nice to read all these things about yourself! I believe you are a very talented person. I also really like music but unfortunately I can not play anything hahaha. I wish you luck and I hope to meet you soon!
ReplyDeleteLove,
Sofia.
Hi Sofia, thank you for visiting my blog. I am glad I could share some personal stories, so you can get to know me a little bit more. I am not sure whether I am talented :D. I am not very good at it, but I enjoy it :). I wish I could be a good singer too, but unfortunately I am not. However, I still sing quite often because it is a great pleasure for me :).
