It’s about time we got to know our camp 2016 team! Let’s start with Emma, our second grade teacher. Working as a special needs T.A. (and ready to start teaching English in September), Emma has a few notable experiences teaching abroad. She immediately impressed us for her enthusiasm, a very pragmatic approach, and a lively character. Let’s meet her.Introduce yourself to our camp community!
Hello! Hey! Hi!
I am Emma Milligan, a 27 year old from York, England. I am currently a teaching assistant in a secondary school after working as a language teacher in China and Spain. I am a social person who loves to learn (and teach!). I like staying active with running, yoga and swimming, I also like food. Cooking and trying new things. I’m friendly, interested in other people and I’m very understanding. Most importantly I love to have a good laugh.
Why did you choose to be part of our camp?
I chose “Why Not?” because it looks like a family! A close set of teachers and activity leaders who have a real passion for education and fun! I have never been to Italy before so this will be a great opportunity to learn more about the people, the history and the food! The school focuses on practical teaching with native speakers. This well help the children learn practical English that they will remember and it’s all done in a fun way.
What “kind” of teacher will you be at the camp?
I am friendly, firm and fair. The 3 F’s. The most important thing for me is that the students are happy. If they are happy they will learn and if they learn… I am happy! I like prizes and rewards but behaviour is very important too, so I make sure everyone knows what is expected, what they have to do and how to make it interesting. I will make sure everyone in the class feels they’re ‘getting it’ because confidence and comfort in the class is my priority.
We are eager to start working with Emma—we are sure you will like her a lot! Stay tuned for the next episode of #MeetTheTeam…
