Hi there families 😊 I am a friendly and hardworking postgraduate student from the UK, and I am currently in Australia studying my Masters of Teaching (primary and secondary). I have over five years’ experience working as a private tutor, supporting students from age 4 -25 with English and Maths, and prior to that, I worked for 2 and a half years as an au pair / child minder (in Australia and the UK). I have always enjoyed working with children, volunteering for literacy groups when I was still in school, but it was volunteering at a school in Indonesia that made me realise just how much I loved it 😊 and that was the moment I decided to become a teacher. I am looking for part-time work as a nanny/ baby sitter/ tutor to help support myself while I’m studying here. My schedule is very flexible at the moment, as the semester has just ended so I have no more university commitments until late February (but even during term time, classes are only 2-3 days per week), so I have a lot of availability. I already have some tutoring lessons (mostly on Sunday and Monday evenings), but I’m available the rest of the week/ weekends and I can do during the day Sunday/ Monday if that helps 😊 I am Covid-vaccinated and have a WWCC. I can also provide references😊 and I have experience supporting/ caring for children with additional needs (Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, Down’s Syndrome).
