Charlotte Hathaway

A passionate, proficient and knowledgeable Primary Teacher from the UK with eleven years of experience in teaching Kindergarten, right through to Grades 5 and 6. With a recently completed Masters Degree in Early Childhood Education, I hold a deep understanding of how to drive and deliver powerful teaching and learning strategies through an inclusive and enriching curriculum; with a goal to inspiring positive, successful and fulfilling outcomes for the students I teach, no matter their starting point. I am professional and caring and am often complemented on my calmness, teaching style and ability to make sound, informed decisions. I thrive both independently and as part of a team; I am versatile, confident in my abilities and committed to continual professional growth.

Throughout my career, I have experienced a broad diversity in academic abilities and educational starting points. In the UK, the majority of my teaching career was spent in one of the most socioeconomically disadvantaged areas of the country. Not only did this add significant depth and such an empowering aspect to my role, but I developed a thorough understanding of the true nature of learning. Teaching is about instilling excitement, curiosity and optimism for your future; it is this, possibly, that has driven my adventurous decision to continue my life and career, in Sydney, moving forwards. Outside of the workplace, I am a keen dancer and enjoy days at the beach.
