Summary
A passionate, adaptable, and approachable teaching professional, I provide an engaging, balanced, and supportive learning environment for all students. I possess solid skills and knowledge in current theories and best practice in general education. I have taught across all year levels from PP to year 6 in a relief capacity, as well as holding fixed term positions teaching year 3 and 4 students at three different schools. I have also spent several years working on an individual basis with students with learning difficulties and obtained a Graduate Certificate in Teaching (Learning Difficulties) from Edith Cowan University. Through my varied teaching experience, I have built an extensive teaching skill set that allows me to deliver engaging and inclusive learning units and lessons, to implement positive behaviour management and help students to achieve excellent learning outcomes.
