My passion is reading to learn. Using a modified and Steiner-ified version of the Reading to Learn program, children discover the world beyond the pages and learn to love reading.
A bit about me…
I have worked with children for over 16 years. I worked in after school programs in Brisbane co-ordinating up to 120 children in one afternoon and childcare programs on Hamilton Island organising activities and doing evening babysitting for guests. Other times I was a private babysitter.
I spent 5 years in Italy, during this time I was a live-in nanny in an Italian/American family in Italy for 3 young boys for over a year. I taught English to Italian primary school students and to adults whose work required a certain level of English.
I taught in a state school in Brisbane for 4 years learning quickly that to make a real impact on the lives of children, we cannot be constrained by certain measures. Small group learning means I can get to know my students better, with time and space that allows for them to really show me their hearts, their curiosities, their own path.
