Elissa C.

Private tutor in Freshwater, Australia

Education

Bachelor of Teaching (Secondary)/Bachelor of Science, major Biology, minor Chemistry at the University of Newcastle.

Experience

During my tertiary study at the University of Newcastle I am constantly given the opportunity to gain essential knowledge, theory and skills that enable me to become the best teacher I can be. I have been given the opportunity to teach a four-week practical at Gorokan High School where I taught a range of science classes involving a year 10 selective science class, year 11 senior science class and a year 9 boys behaviour class that involved all subjects. I was graded at working at and above expectation and awarded an ungraded pass overall. I believe this experience has allowed me to develop strong educational skills and the confidence to be able to successfully educate students into self-regulated learners. Teaching is a career of great reward for me, being able to influence another person's life in a positive way. Being able to tutor students while undertaking my teaching study I believe will be beneficial to both the students and also myself. I have a strong foundation of educational theory and learning strategies that I will be able to pass onto the students in order to effectively enhance their learning experience and educational outcomes and it will provide me with great personal reward as i have an innate passion for education and learning. Subjects I have undertaken that would be relevant in enhancing my ability to tutor science include: - Introduction to Specialist Studies - Specialist Studies in Science I - Extended Studies in Science I - Educational Psychology - Learners and the Learning Process - Managing the 7-12 Learning Environment
