Summary
An ambitious and dedicated secondary history teacher with two years of experience at a U.S. charter school in China, including homeroom teacher and AP teaching responsibilities. As an expat from China holding a Bachelor of Arts (Politics) and a Master of Teaching from the University of Melbourne, I am seeking to transition to a private school based in Melbourne where I will use evidence-based instructional strategies and leverage my strengths in curriculum development to support the academic excellence of young learners. I am a firm advocate in the holistic approach to teaching and learning where a student’s wellbeing and lifelong development is placed at the center of their education and all students feel safe, supported, and welcomed in my classroom. I am committed to delivering engaging learning programs with a focus on inquiry-based practicals, comparative cultural studies and connecting the curriculum with real world contexts and issues.
