Vlera Murtezi
Fellow 2020

My name is Vlera Murtezi and I am 22 years old.
 
I am a final year student of English Language and Literature at the Faculty of Philology at the University of Prishtina, "Hasan Prishtina".
 
In 2019 I was a beneficiary of the Erasmus + scholarship and I studied for a semester in Poland. While studying there, I was also an intern at a school in the town of Nysie. During 2018 I was part of the Work & Travel USA program, and now I am part of the CIEE Alumni. During my studies I also completed internships as an English teacher in primary school as well as in private institutions. Currently I am an intern in the Office of Foreign Relations of the University of Prishtina.
 
My desire to contribute to my country and the education system has pushed me to be part of several volunteer activities organized by the Kosovo English Teachers ’Network (KetNet) in addition to my studies. During these activities I had the opportunity to gain many skills and learn many teaching methods and techniques.
 
Since the education system in Kosovo needs changes, I decided to join Teach For Kosova. Now as a Fellow of this organization I believe that no matter how small, I can contribute to the education system.
