Carmen Roberts

With over 5 years of experience working with children within different environments, I am a charismatic and dedicated native English teacher, aspiring to pursue a career in Montessori. I am passionate in guiding young students in their development and learning of the English language, while supporting them in creating independence and mindfulness in their own learning. My purpose is to provide the best learning environment, embedding enthusiasm for learning in young students which can set up the best start in life.
