Tessa Devlin
Melbourne
Summary
I am a graduate from La Trobe University with a Bachelor of Education (Primary) including specialized subjects of Drama and Music from levels F to Year 10.
I am available for both CRT and contract work.
I have spent the past four years out of study teaching at various schools including but not limited to, Parkville College (Secure Care - contracted), Coburg West Primary (contracted, year Prep), Reservoir East Primary, Preston West Primary, Yarra Me (Specialist School), Preshil The Margaret Memorial School (PYP and MYP curriculum), Moreland Primary, Roxburgh Rise Primary, Coburg North Primary, Thornbury Primary and Penders Grove Primary where I have implemented diverse curriculums and behavioural management strategies to cover a wide range of subjects within different learning environments.
I have worked consistently at Parkville College as a classroom teacher, where I have developed skills and differentiated lessons to accommodate students with varying behavioural and learning needs.
I am a passionate, positive and driven teacher who is highly skilled at motivating students through positive encouragement, and I am committed to providing students with necessary tools to achieve their individual academic goals.
I would love the opportunity to demonstrate this to you through relief teaching work at your school.
