Andreea Popa
Form Tutor 3 Alfa
Inspired by my primary school teacher, I aspired to become a teacher myself. Upon embarking on my teaching career, I discovered that the true inspiration, joy, and rewards of this profession come from the children and being an integral part of their world.
I hold a degree from the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences and furthered my education with a degree in Communication and PR from SNSPA “David Ogilvy” as well as a Master’s degree in Pedagogical Research and Development.
With 16 years of experience at the International School of Bucharest, I have had the privilege of teaching in both English and Romanian. This multicultural environment has enriched my professional journey and allowed me to grow alongside diverse and talented individuals.
Committed to continuous personal and professional development, I have achieved certification as a certified teacher (” Definitivat”) and earned the Second Degree (Gradul Didactic II). I have also participated in numerous professional development courses and workshops, covering topics such as Developing Curricular and Extracurricular Activities, Class Management, Communication Strategies, Developing Differentiated Curriculum, Multiple Intelligences, Child Protection in Education, Supporting EAL Students Across the Curriculum, and The Importance of Feedback. Additionally, I completed the CGS training on Conceptual Learning with Kevin Bartlett and the Penta International School Inspection Training Course for BSO inspectors, further enhancing my skills and knowledge.
My teaching philosophy is rooted in valuing each child as an individual while recognizing their role within the community. My goal is to create abundant learning opportunities and experiences that engage, motivate, and prepare students for their future endeavors.
