Carmen Cleo Holing
English Teacher
Dortmund, Germany
Summary
l am an adaptable English literature and language specialist with local as well as international training and experience. I believe in holistic education where learners are equipped not only academically but also spiritually and emotionally for life after school. A family-oriented environment is where my abilities and strengths can really shine through; allowing me to create dynamic, interactive and thought-provoking lessons. In an atmosphere of openness to the Holy Spirit and obedience to His will, I strive to engender Christ's teachings in all aspects of school life and lesson objectives.
Philippians 4: 8 is a scripture that might best encompass my teaching philosophy: "whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things of good raport, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy- meditate on these things."
