Primary school teacher (Master of Teaching, University of Sydney) with six years teaching experience in Sydney and London. I have also taught casually as a high school teacher during this time. Experienced tutor, babysitter and swimming instructor coaching primary and high school students alike. Japanese language speaker, currently teaching primary school Japanese.
Working with children has always been a passion of mine. In my employment history I have always sort out positions where I can work first hand with children as I find it fun and rewarding. Working with children and in education is what genuinely makes me happy and I couldn’t see my future career without children involved. It is not just about being with children but also educating, watching them learn and grow and having the skills to make a difference in the lives of others. Since my first job as a swimming instructor at 18 I have been able to understand the rewards and challenges that come with this early on. From there, I worked my way up to being a supervisor at a before and after school care and eventually became a Master of Teaching graduate.
I have been tutoring since the age of 19 where I began tutoring high school mathematics (after having just completed extension mathematics in the HSC). Since then, I have casually taught primary and high school maths over the years. My most recent students were in year 5 and I tutored them mathematics as well as supporting motivation and engagement. During this time I also worked as an SLSO at two schools providing one-to-one support for students with special education needs and learning disabilities. Having completed a Master of Teaching at the University of Sydney in 2018, I now have over five years teaching experience in Sydney (2018-2019) and London (2019-2023). I am currently employed as a part-time Japanese teacher at one primary school whilst also covering Japanese at another school. I have over 10 years of formal Japanese language education from primary to high school as well as at the University of Technology, Sydney and Kyoto University of Foreign Studies, Japan.
