She has over ten years of experience in working with children in different contexts: from teaching to classroom management interventions. She has developed and coordinated VYL programs (like learning English through music). She has a Bachelor`s Degree in Psychology, from the University of Bucharest (2008) and a Master`s Degree in Psychotherapy, from University of Bucharest (2010). Alina has completed International House Certificate in Teaching Young Learners and Teenagers (IHCYLT) and International House Certificate in Teaching Very Young Learners IHCVYLT).
What guides her through work is her curiosity about children, their behaviours, and how they can develop into responsible and fulfilled adults.
