Tutoring Jobs
My name is Katie and I’m here in Australia for the year, potentially longer. I am a motivated and enthusiastic person. Walking, swimming, baking, reading, music and art are just some of my passions. I am a qualified primary school teacher and I’ve taught children from 5 years to 12 years. I’ve spent four years teaching at home and am currently on a career break from my permanent job. My role as a teacher required patience, kindness, empathy, honesty, communication skills and creativity. These are all skills in which I can utilise as the role of a nanny here in Australia. Over the years, I’ve worked with children through work experience in a pre-school with children aged 3 years to 5 years. Here I co-ordinated activities and worked on the smooth transition to primary school for some of the children. I have babysat the same children at home who aged from 6 months to 7 years old and continued to look after them some weekends before I left. This role included day car as well as over night work. I built a strong relationship with this family and I was very sad to say goodbye to them before I left. During July and August when I’m off from my teaching job, I’ve delivered 1:1 tutoring to children. I’ve worked closely with children with special educational needs. This role required trust from parents as I worked independently with the children and took them out for the day on my own. Most recently, I’ve spent a period of time nannying for a family here in Australia who no longer require care anymore so I’m am available for casual nannying. I am looking forward to meeting new families here in Australia.

Tutoring Experience
I’ve spent time tutoring on 1:1 basis as well as group tutoring. I’ve worked with children with special educational needs by focusing on social and academic skills. I worked with a group of 6th class boys tutoring 1 hour once a week focusing on maths skills prior to their move to secondary school. I tutored a girl for 2 years when she was in 2nd and 3rd class focusing on literacy skills. She struggled with reading, writing, spelling and oral language. We covered these topics and I saw huge progress in her development.
