Reviews

3 families and businesses in your area recommended Kurt...
"Kurt did a fantastic job helping watch 4 kids under 8 years old for a few hours. He was really fun and energetic and played with the kids the whole time. The kids really liked him. He's very reliable and pleasant to deal with. I have used Juggle Street for 6 months now and he's one of the best babysitters we've ever had. Highly recommend!"
From Elouise - Mosman
"Kurt looked after my 2 and 5 year old boys for a few hours in the evening. He played games with them and they all seemed to have a great time. He put my youngest to bed with no problems. Will definitely be asking Kurt back to sit for us :) "
From Ebony - Coolbinia
"Kurt was fantastic, very thorough with questions about the boys and they kept really busy. He has a really positive way of communicating with them and they enjoyed his company asking me if he is free next time can we have him back. "

Tutoring Experience

My name is Kurt, I am an experienced tutor looking for tutoring work with students from K-6 in any core area of the primary school curriculum (maths, literacy, science, etc.). I am a recent Chemical Engineering and Finance Graduate (first class honours) and I spent 2020 working as a special needs education assistant in a mainstream pre-primary class. I am moving to an engineering graduate position in 2021, but with plans to study my masters of primary teaching I would like to continue practising my teaching/tutoring skills at the same time. I have a lot of experience in the planning and delivery of education and care of children, including:  - Special Needs Education Assistant - Pre-Primary: 2020 - Volunteer Mainstream Education Assistant (Y1-Y3): 2017 - 2020 - Delivery of guided reading programs for primary aged students: 2017 - 2020 - Private primary (literacy, mathematics, speech pathology, etc.) & high school tutoring (Year 11 - 12 Chemistry, Maths, Physics) - Teach Learn Grow - Rural one-on-on Maths Tutoring (Y1-Y4) - State Coordinator for the Engineers Without Borders School Outreach Program (reaching ~1200 students p.a.) - Babysitting (regular, ad hoc, ages 1-12) I have an understanding of, and training in: - Primary school curriculum - Phonics programs - Guided reading - Maths problem solving methods - Study techniques - Keeping students engaged - Lesson planning I have my WWCC, First Aid, police clearance, license, and my own car. I can travel quite far for tutoring as a live in Joondalup, but work and have accomodation south of the river so any location is convenient for me. I am happy to work with 1 student or small groups. Prices of sessions will start at $40/hour but will depend on the needs of your child, planning, travel and resources required, and the number of students involved. Get in contact with me with any questions or to organise a time to chat about working together. I look forward to hearing from you!
