Hello! My name is Andrea and my background is as a psychologist and school teacher in Peru. Here in Australia I am a qualified educator :) I have experience working with babies, toddlers, and children of different ages in daycare, before and after school, and in the home care setting. Working with children is my passion. I come from a large family and grew up surrounded by my cousins and my two younger brothers. I love going to the beach, walking, reading, playing and listening to music.
I have wide experience working as a psychologist and educator in schools with children between 4 and 12 years old and teenagers. I have worked with children with ADDH, behavioral difficulties, emotional cases, sensorial conditions and autism.
I have worked with children since I was 19 years old; helping them with their homeworks, teaching languages (Spanish native, English advance and German intermediate). I have work most of the time in the field of education with children between 4 and 12 years old and in psychology field with teenagers too (from 13 to 21of age). What I find very rewarding of the work with children is that they developed their own resources to reach their goals and as they grow, they reaffirm more their own tastes and preferences. Therin lies the importance of our role as caregivers in orden to give them perspective for choosing the healthiest possible action alternatives so that they are happy.
I have been working as a tutor since I was studying psychology in the university. I have helped children with their homework after school, gave reinforcement for some courses that resulted difficult to them, -/ math, science or historie. I also was German, English and Spanish teacher, from beginners and intermediate level. I some cases I went to the house of the children, in other they went to my private practice, using the psychology too and I have put my knowledge in practice in schools also. I! An educator and psychological rol. Givin children academic accompaniment and emotional containment too.
