Marketing, Admin and Client Rapport

Attending Wellington region primary and intermediate schools; to teach structure literacy and numeracy, sciences, arts and sports. I was adept to adapt and lead a classroom through their routine and lessons, plus I implemented my own lesson plans. Students fed back they were engaged and enthused, and because of my creative, multi sensorial approach and curiosity for each student, students previously troubled by school, found ways to reengage with their learning. I loved navigating learning with students.
