About Me
I am currently studying a Master of Teaching (Primary) at Monash University. This course has a heavy focus on in Mathematics and Literacy teaching, alongside the other curriculum areas. I am well versed in both the Victorian and Australian Curriculum, lesson planning, and assessment. As part of my course, I have taken part in placement in various schools where I have taught Mathematics, Reading, Writing, and Science lessons.
During my undergraduate university studies I volunteered in a local school, working one-on-one with a Year 9 student in Mathematics. Under my tuition, we saw a great improvement in her confidence and academic achievements in Maths.
I have also worked as an online Biology tutor, working one-on-one with Year 9 and 10 students, and as an online English teaching, teaching English as a second language to students in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Japan. Finally, I am a proficient pianist, having reached Grade 7 Piano. I am confident teaching beginners piano.
I have plenty of experience with children, and grew up babysitting for neighbouring families. From 2018-2019 I worked as a live-in au pair for a family with a six year old boy, and assisted him with his reading and writing each night.
Alongside my studies, I work in Monash University's Student Services. I am flexible, friendly, and understanding to the needs of students.
