Oana Otves

Teacher of History

I believe that being a teacher means more than just transmitting knowledge. You must be a mentor, a guide, and a source of inspiration for students. It’s about creating the right environment for students to explore their potential, discover their strengths, and overcome their fears. These beliefs were instilled in me both by my teachers and my family, coming from an environment where I was surrounded and guided by educators.

I graduated from the Faculty of History at the University of Bucharest, specializing in Art History, driven by a passion for ancient history and archaeology. I followed this passion throughout my three years of undergraduate studies and continue to pursue it as part of a volunteer team researching an archaeological site in Călărași.

In 2019, I completed the Pedagogical Module – Level I at the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences at the University of Bucharest. This course provided me with a broader perspective on the learning process and helped me acquire the necessary knowledge about the importance of personalized education approaches.

In 2022, I enrolled in the Didactic Master’s program in History at the Faculty of History at the University of Bucharest and the Master’s program in Managerial Communication and Human Resources at the National School of Political and Administrative Studies (SNSPA). I chose to continue my professional development in the teaching field to be fully prepared when I become a History teacher. This subject has answered my curiosity about the past, with “Why?” being the question that has always motivated me to discover different aspects of history.

I joined the Avenor family in 2022 as a Front Desk Officer, and starting in September 2023, I am part of the Teachers for Teachers program within the Humanities department. This program gives me the opportunity to develop the skills necessary for a future teaching career. Being at the beginning of this journey, the guidance and mentorship from experienced teachers, in an exceptional school environment, is an opportunity that should not be missed. I aspire to become an excellent teacher, and I believe that I now have the chance to achieve this goal.

I am grateful for the opportunity I have been given and am delighted to begin my teaching career here. I am certain that I will approach both the challenges and joys that lie ahead with the same enthusiasm. I am excited to learn, grow, and continue evolving as a teacher alongside future generations of students.
