  Education Mentor

  This was my elected work experience during year 10I assisted children by listening to them read, helping with art and craft activities, completing yard duty in the library and helping children with tasks. A special ‘one-off’ task that I completed was going to the nearby shops with a teacher to buy ingredients to help make pizzas with the children.I used a whiteboard, worksheets and a smart boardFeedback: “Therese quickly became part of the year 2-unit team and assisted in the classroom very successfully. She was well-mannered and demonstrated an enthusiasm for supporting students learn new things. I would highly recommend Therese for teaching. All the best Therese!” Show less
