Larissa

Profession: ESL Teacher
Education
From Sept 2011, I have been working within schools teaching English to Turkish children.

Online ESL Teacher
Education
Since January 2020, I have been working online teaching students English.

Interests: In my free time, I like to cycle along the coast with my children. We feel it is a fun way to exercise and explore the city we live in. I also enjoy baking cakes and biscuits. Actually, I think my whole neighbourhood enjoy my baking hobby! Due to my love of baking, cycling is a must!

I enjoy spending time with my children, playing games and singing songs together. I love music! So quite often we may dance together in the kitchen or make silly chants/jingles together – some of which become a part of my teaching!

I like trying new things and experiencing life to the full! I once bungee jumped from a bridge over my local river. On that same river I also did water zorbing; this involves getting into a large inflatable ball and (attempting) to walk, run, jump, dance on the surface of the water, without getting wet! I have an adventurous spirit and hope to one day sky dive.

I enjoy reading, I enjoy attending seminars and webinars and working on my professional development. I feel like, we are never “done”. There is always more to learn, especially with teaching. Throughout my years I’ve seen students grow and change, they are a different generation and we are preparing them for the future. It is important that we also continue to change and evolve.

Thank you for taking the time to read all about me!
