About Profile
Otis believes great teachers profoundly impact students' lives, shaping both their academic skills and character. Inspired by my own memorable teachers, he aspires to train as a primary school teacher.
His first teaching experience was in Kunming, China, where he taught English at a secondary school. This experience highlighted the importance of inclusion and diversity in education.
His undergraduate studies in Environment and Sustainability emphasized the value of early education, particularly through projects like school gardening, which teaches patience and care.
From 2016 to 2023, Otis worked as an English literacy specialist in Singapore, focusing on early readers and preparing students for the PSLE. This role allowed me to cultivate empathy, critical thinking, and a love of learning in students, while also managing classroom behavior and assessing progress.
His varied teaching experiences have reinforced my commitment to primary education, and I am eager to continue my training to become an effective teacher.
