Jacob Martin

Over the past four years, I have been dedicated to pursuing a Bachelor's of Education in Primary Teaching. My goal is to fulfill my lifelong dream of becoming a teacher. Witnessing the profound impact my own teachers had on me, I am driven to impart fundamental knowledge to our Young Rangatahi, empowering them for their future endeavors. I am eager to contribute to the teaching profession and excited about the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of students.

Hi there my name is Jacob Martin. Here is a little bit about me, I am a university student studying bachelors of education – primary at AUT to hopefully become a teacher one day I have completed 2 full years of my degree and am about to compete my last.  I am currently 22 years old and I am looking for permanent full-time work as a teacher to begin my journey through my BT hopefully gaining the knowledge to set me up for my future as a teacher. I am very fun and outgoing, love meeting new people and I very good at meeting goals that are set.

As said in introduction I am currently studying at university however, I don’t let that effect my work ethic as I am always focus on what I set my mind to whether that be on class or job. Currently at the moment I am working a Full time jobs at Youthtown after school care and holiday program which offers me up to 30 hours a week during term and roughly 40 during holiday. I used to work part time at Stanley Avenue Wine Bar and Bistro offers me around 20-40hours a week (mostly working nights). I want to find a job that makes me happy and can use my full potential with enforcing safety like on my after school care but the joy of working and getting to know new people. I am a person who follows and sets by example I always show up early to work (never been late) as well as always have uniform neat, tidy and fresh as required. I am so excited to be applying for new job/ experience.
