Oana Otveș
Teacher of History
I believe that being a teacher goes beyond simply sharing knowledge. It means being a mentor, a guide, and an inspiration to students. It’s about creating an environment where students can explore their potential, discover their strengths, and overcome their fears. These values were instilled in me by both my teachers and my family, as I grew up surrounded by and guided by educators.
I graduated from the University of Bucharest’s Faculty of History with a specialization in Art History, driven by my passion for ancient history and archaeology. I pursued this passion throughout my undergraduate studies and continue to follow it as part of a volunteer team researching an archaeological site in Călărași.
In 2019, I completed the Level I Psychopedagogical Module at the University of Bucharest’s Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences. This course broadened my perspective on the learning process and equipped me with the knowledge necessary to implement personalized approaches in education.
In 2022, I enrolled in the Master’s program in History Teaching at the University of Bucharest’s Faculty of History and the Master’s program in Managerial Communication and Human Resources at the National University of Political Studies and Public Administration (SNSPA). I chose to continue my professional development in education to be fully prepared for a career as a history teacher, a subject that has always sparked my curiosity about the past. The question “Why?” has continually motivated me to delve into various aspects of history.
I joined the Avenor community in 2022, and since September 2023, I have been part of the Teachers for Teachers program within the Humanities department. This program offers me the opportunity to develop the skills needed to become a strong teacher. As I am at the start of my career, the guidance and mentorship from experienced teachers in an exceptional school environment is an invaluable opportunity.
Beginning in September 2024, I will be teaching history to middle school students. This role allows me to apply the skills and knowledge I have acquired through the Teachers for Teachers program. I am eager to contribute to the education of young people and to inspire a love for history in my students.
I am grateful for the opportunity to start my teaching career at Avenor and am excited to embrace both the challenges and rewards that lie ahead. I look forward to learning, growing, and evolving as a teacher alongside future generations of students.
