Yi (Connie) Hsu
Strathfield,NSW
Summary
My main KLA is TAS, where I specialise in hands-on and IT-related subjects, and I also teach HSIE, particularly Business Studies and Commerce.
I’ve shown competence in teaching both Design and Technology and Business Studies at the HSC level.
Drawing on my previous industry experience, I’ve developed original resources and consistently link content to real-world contexts to engage students.
I’m calm and composed in the classroom and can manage myself well even in classes with challenging behaviour. Colleagues find me easy to work with, as I’m sociable, open-minded, and collaborative, always willing to adapt and improve my practice for the benefit of my students.
