About Eileen Kolkey
Calm presence, consistent support, and a steady hand in the classroom.
Eileen steps into each classroom with one priority in mind: help students feel supported, seen, and ready to learn. Whether it is for a single day or a longer assignment, she brings calm structure, clear communication, and a gentle sense of encouragement.
She understands that every class has its own rhythm, and she works carefully with existing plans so learning can continue without disruption. Students know what to expect, and teachers can feel confident that their classroom is in good hands.
- Creates a warm, respectful environment where students feel comfortable participating.
- Follows lesson plans closely while staying flexible when the moment calls for it.
- Focuses on kindness, patience, and consistency, especially with younger learners.
When Eileen is in the room, students stay on track and the school day keeps its rhythm, even when the regular teacher is away.
Teaching has always felt natural for Eileen. Each class brings new faces, new personalities, and new stories, and she considers it a privilege to be trusted in those spaces.
She is especially mindful that substitute days can feel uncertain for students. Her aim is to make those days feel steady and familiar so that learning, kindness, and a sense of safety remain in place.
