Goals: „In working with my students, everything is based on well-being. I want them to feel free, to be cheerful, to stimulate their creativity and to teach them that the will is the basis of many successes, even when we are not referring to the favorite activity. I like to focus on a harmonious development, to observe and guide the child in all aspects of his or her evolution: emotional, interpersonal, moral and academic. A child feels truly free, creative and joyful when a balance is created between all these. The joy of learning and the will (intrinsic motivation) are two concepts that I follow in my interaction with students. I love being around them, enjoying with them everything they discover and helping them feel valued. Through this way of thinking, I can hope that future adults will stand out through responsibility, conscious presence and sustained effort, elements that will bring advantages to both the self and the world in which we live.”

Goals: „With the support of the two highly performing curricula (the IB curriculum and the Romanian one), my mission is to create effective learning contexts, in which each student assimilates information and acquires skills in the style and pace that suits him. But reaching the maximum potential is possible only by learning to understand ourselves, to be aware of what we feel, what we want and how we convey this to others. My goal is to raise children who love and respect balance and wellness, who influence the future both through their academic training and through the formation of solid character, who remain curious and flexible throughout their lives, who know how to bring their passions to life , which does not forget that attention and critical thinking are the greatest superpowers, which must be protected and trained.
And since we’re talking about strengths, I asked my wonderful students what they think is my superpower as a teacher. They listed that I lead them to find solutions without them realizing it, that I never let them give up, and that I always make even the most complicated things seem simple. My parents added that I would be selfless, organized, balanced, playful and very creative. I recognized in this profile the teacher I always wanted and wanted for my daughter. If I managed to find it in the characterization received from those to whom I dedicate my activity, I can only be proud and motivated to enjoy the spectacular journey with them every day.“

Discovering the active methods of teaching music Kodaly, Dalcroze and Orff were revelatory for me as a teacher, illuminating the path I have been on for several years, that of discovering the beauty of music to children, through play, experimentation and a lot of joy. The game for children is a means of development and expression and thus theory must follow practice, the child being able to affirm that he has experienced the elements that make up music (melody, rhythm, harmony, timbre, form…), thus being prepared, if he wishes, to approaches the study of a musical instrument.
And because this type of approach includes the development of attention, individual work, but also in groups, creativity and empathy, adaptability and free expression, I aim for the personal development of the child to merge with the musical one, thus having the prerequisites for knowledge and appreciation of music value.”
