Summary
I love teaching and have been working in schools for most of my adult life. I began tutoring Primary Students whilst in Secondary School and was fortunate enough to undertake LSO work whilst at University. I have 4 children of my own and I am enjoying spending more time back in the classroom now that they are older. I love the versatility of Casual Relief Work and Part Time work, however I am seeking more permanent employment.
