Hello, I am Vannesa Joy Pajarito, 33 years old, a licensed professional teacher from the Philippines. All you have to know about me is that I am an adventurer at heart, always open for new experiences, constantly stepping out of my comfort zone, and happily embracing my independence. This love for adventure is evident in my 10 years of experience as a classroom teacher. I was under the Department of Education for nine years, teaching Music, Arts, P.E., and Health to Grades 9 and 10. For a decade, I incorporated different strategies like singing, dancing, and games that would engage students with the lessons. In addition, for more than a year, I was an ESL online teacher under 51Talk, teaching English to Chinese students with varying levels of proficiency in the language. As I look back on everything I’ve been through, I realize that the most fulfilling part of being a teacher is when I get the chance to share my expertise and be part of the meaningful and fun-filled learning experience of the students.
