Jahan Nurmuhamedova
Hi there, I’m Jahan, an international educator with more than 20 years of experience in the classroom all over the world. I received my first degree from Turkmenistan’s Pedagogical College, where I was born and raised.
Following a number of years of employment as an English teacher, I pursued graduate studies at Appalachian State University in the United States of America, where I concurrently held a co-teaching position in language arts in Asheville. In addition, I am a certified CELTA English teacher. Thanks to the Cambridge University’s CELTA courses, educators like me can teach English anywhere in the globe.I have worked as a teacher in Turkey, Vietnam, and Korean schools in Vietnam. I got my job offer from the school where I work now in 2021. Since September 2021 I have been working as a Montessori Lead teacher at the 3-6 class and later I was assigned as a Director of Montessori program. I studied for my Montessori diploma at the International Institute of Montessori teacher training in Hanoi. That was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. What is Montessori education? For more than a century now, the child-focused approach that Dr. Maria Montessori, an Italian physician, developed for educating children has been transforming schools around the globe.As soon as you enter a classroom, you know that something different is afoot. Montessori classrooms are immediately recognizable. You will see children working independently and in groups, often with specially designed learning materials; deeply engaged in their work; and respectful of themselves and their surroundings.The Montessori Method fosters rigorous, self-motivated growth for children and adolescents in all areas of their development—cognitive, emotional, social, and physical. Montessori education is student-led and self-paced but guided, assessed, and enriched by knowledgeable and caring teachers, the leadership of their peers, and a nurturing environment.Within the community of a multi-age classroom—designed to create natural opportunities for independence, citizenship, and accountability—children embrace multi-sensory learning and passionate inquiry. Individual students follow their own curiosity at their own pace, taking the time they need to fully understand each concept and meet individualized learning goals.Given the freedom and support to question, probe deeply, and make connections, Montessori students grow up to be confident, enthusiastic, and self-directed learners and citizens, accountable to both themselves and their community. They think critically, work collaboratively, and act boldly and with integrity. What better outcome could you wish for your children? About my interests: I enjoy traveling, hiking, doing yoga, cooking and learning new things. I have been to 33 different countries so far. I also enjoy learning languages, which has allowed me to become multilingual (I speak six languages), which has expanded my opportunities.
