Qianyu (Kelly) Lu
Homebush West,NSW
Summary
I am a recent graduate student from the University of Sydney, studying for a Bachelor of Secondary Education and a Bachelor of Science. Hence, I am looking to start building a career relevant to my degree.
I would describe myself as an enthusiastic, patient individual with an engaged teaching style who cultivates productive learning environments to drive student progress and comprehension.
I have had three placement experiences at schools with different demographics and visions, which helped me develop holistic education for students with different virtual school bags.
Hence, I am highly motivated and would love the opportunity to not only utilize the skills I already have but also be part of the school, which will be a great starting point for developing myself and my career.
