Gold Coast,QLD
Summary
I am a recent graduate from Griffith University looking to begin my career as a high school educator. My teaching areas are biology and psychology but I have undergone some study for junior math and I am open to exploring opportunities in this field. I believe I am a very capable teacher as I have confidently lead students through units of work with thoughtful differentiation and have made a considerable impact on student learning during my placement. I believe building strong relationships with students is important. I want to be a good teacher and I am ready to put in the work to get there. I am a registered teacher with QCT and hold an active blue card.
If you have any further inquiries do not hesitate to contact me.
