Teacher of Romanian Language
Form Tutor 5 Omega

I chose to work with souls. I chose to be a teacher, always driven by the desire to share the accumulated knowledge with the new generations, to offer students the freedom of expression, creativity, and the aspiration to build quality education.

The effectiveness of a teacher’s activities is determined by their personality, the quantity, and quality of the information conveyed. I set out to be a role model for students, to be a person who spreads love, kindness, gentleness, respect, admiration, and sincerity around them.

In pursuit of becoming a Romanian Language and Literature teacher, in 2015, I completed the courses at the Faculty of Letters, specializing in Romanian-English, at “Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University in Iași. After finishing my studies in Iași, I came to Bucharest where, in 2015, I decided to pursue the master’s program in Teaching Philological Disciplines alongside exceptional professors, in order to acquire the primary qualification of an educator in the art of pedagogy. In 2017, I completed this master’s program with a thesis entitled “Reader-response theory.” In 2018, I obtained the Definitivat, and in 2023, I achieved Gradul Didactic II at the University of Bucharest.

Through my teaching experience, I have come to understand that today’s students have different needs and interests, which a good teacher must develop through a different teaching approach and a new vision, as it is not only about what you learn but especially about how you learn.

In the context of the discipline I teach, I aim to cultivate the artistic sensitivity of students, instill in them a desire to appreciate literary art, and contribute to the development of their creativity, as well as the discovery of their own abilities.

For me, a new year full of challenges, emotions, and achievements lies ahead, another year in the educational team at Avenor College. I wish for a beautiful school year alongside the students and teachers at Avenor.
