Rhys McDonald
Jordan Springs,NSW
Summary
My name is Rhys McDonald, a 26-year-old who has developed a passion for both Plumbing and Teaching. Through my experience in both work settings and educational institutions such as TAFE, I have discovered a love of teaching through many of my apprentices, and by offering any help towards fellow classmates when they felt like they could be struggling or falling behind.
After working 8 years within the Plumbing industry, I have accumulated a vast amount of experience and knowledge that I am sure will aid me in guiding our future students. I am able to talk confidently, learn quickly, and easily approachable for students to feel they can trust and learn from me.
