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 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!
