Tutoring Jobs
Hello there! I'm a dedicated educator with a professional Masters of Education in Economics and Home Economics. My passion for teaching led me to spend four rewarding years as a teacher in Ireland, where I had the privilege of working with students of various ages. Recently, I relocated to the beautiful city of Sydney, affording me the opportunity to devote my time to childcare. Over the past three years, I've organised and ran cooking camps for youngsters aged 6-12, fostering a fun and educational environment. Additionally, I've taught older students, ages 13-18, as a high school teacher for four years. Beyond the classroom, I have three years of experience providing one-on-one tutoring in both my specialised subject areas and general homework assistance. I look forward to bringing my of experience and enthusiasm for child care to your family through this nanny app.

Special Needs Experience
Yes, I do have special needs training and education. Throughout my five years of college, I received comprehensive training in areas such as differentiation and catering to students' individual needs. In my subsequent four years of teaching experience, I've had the privilege of working with children who have a diverse range of needs. I consistently adapted my teaching methods to accommodate these unique requirements and collaborated closely with the Special Education Needs (SEN) department in my school to ensure that I could effectively meet the needs of all students.
Childcare Experience
I have accumulated a diverse range of childcare experiences over the years. My journey in this field began when I was 15, working at Montessori camps, where I honed my early childcare skills. During my college years, I completed five placements in various high schools, gaining valuable insights into educational settings. Following my academic pursuits, I spent four fulfilling years as a high school teacher in Ireland, instructing students in Economics and Home Economics. In addition to my classroom role, I organised and led cookery camps for primary school children aged 6-12, fostering a creative and educational environment. My commitment to personalised education extends to one-on-one tutoring. I've provided subject-specific grinds to students and engaged in extensive one-on-one tutoring with a child with oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) and on the autism spectrum. Over three years, I worked closely with this child, providing homework assistance and tailored tuition to support their unique needs. These experiences have enriched my childcare background and equipped me with versatile skills to cater to diverse requirements.
Tutoring Experience
I have been actively involved in tutoring for the past four years. Focusing on primary school-aged children I worked at a Life Skills Academy, where I taught cooking classes to students. These classes provided students with a comprehensive understanding of food, combining practical hands-on skills with theoretical knowledge. It was incredibly rewarding to empower young learners with valuable life skills, fostering their culinary creativity and understanding of nutrition. This experience further fueled my passion for education and childcare. In my focus on secondary school education, I hold a Professional Masters of Education with Economics and Home Economics. Over the course of four years, I've had the privilege of imparting knowledge in these subjects, as well as Business Studies, to my students. In addition to classroom teaching, I've also been involved in correcting Leaving Certificate state exams in Ireland, contributing to the evaluation of students' academic achievements. Furthermore, I've actively pursued my passion for personal development and student well-being. I provided personal development classes to students in my previous school, fostering their holistic growth. My strong interest in well-being led me to engage in numerous professional development courses aimed at enhancing the overall well-being of students. These experiences have shaped my approach to education, emphasising not only academic excellence but also the importance of personal growth and well-being for students.
