Hi everyone. I am an Irish primary school teacher. I am on a work visa in New Zealand. I was a New Entrant teacher in 2019 and I have been working with year 5/6 students for the past two years. I will be available for work over the school holidays. I am creative, fun, patient and energetic. I love being active. I have plenty of experience working with and spending time with children of all ages. To clarify, my response time on this is not the best currently as I had stopped using the account.

Special Needs Experience

I studied special needs education as part of my training in University. I am used to working with children who have a range of needs as I teach and care for a class of 28 children daily during school term time. I have experience working with children who have Autism and ADHD in particular but am willing to learn more.

Childcare Experience

I grew up with 3 sisters and spent my childhood with them and my cousins, playing school. I babysat children from the age of 12. I completed my Bachelors of Education with a Specialism in Early Childhood Studies in Ireland and worked for 2 years in a primary school in Ireland before moving to New Zealand. I have worked as a primary school teacher in Wellington for the past two years, across all class levels, mainly focused in New Entrants and Year 5 and 6.

Tutoring Experience

As a primary school teacher, I have plenty of experience teaching students from 5-12 the full primary school curriculum. I spent the 2 years after graduating tutoring 2 children regularly. I worked with a 6 year old girl who had speech and language difficulties. I also tutored an 11 year old boy who had missed a lot of school time in maths. Both children improved significantly and both parents and teachers were very happy with their progress. I also have a certificate in teaching English as an Additional Language.
