Vickey Karageorgou

Passionate about empowering students of all abilities to reach their full potential, I am a dedicated Special Education Teacher with a Master's Degree in Child Studies. With nearly 5 years of experience working with children aged 6-12, I have honed my skills in creating individualized education plans and providing targeted support to help students overcome challenges and achieve success. As I seek new opportunities in the Netherlands, I am excited to bring my expertise in special education, curriculum development, and classroom management to a team that shares my commitment to fostering a culture of learning and growth.
