Experience

I am passionate about teaching adolescents, in particular inspiring them to understand their strengths and to improve upon weaknesses to reach their academic goals. My subject areas include Middle and Senior English, Humanities (History & Geography), Business, Christian Studies and HPE. In addition to teaching, I’ve been privately tutoring for over eight years.

In 2015 I was lucky enough to be tutored by Bernard Laverty for my Senior OP English class. I still express that the productivity I achieved in an hour session with Mr Laverty by my side translated to 8 hours’ worth on my own. Bernard Laverty was able to not only assist with my sentence structure and basic English skills but also with the variety of essays across all my interests. He went above and beyond to help me with my various endeavours and goals and was easy to relate too.

This year I graduate with a Bachelor of Entertainment Industries at Queensland University of Technology. This course has been a testament to the variety of subjects Bernard Laverty had assisted me with including the exploration of a range of subjects such as Marketing, Project Management and Entertainment Law in an arts context. The combination of these skills will pave a career in producing and management which has already lead to experience on music videos. I still aim to pursue my passions of travel and cultural understanding to express stories from different perspectives. Last year I attended an international study tour with QUT where I worked at MIPTV (Cannes, France) and had met and networked with screen industry professional across France and England. This year I have been selected as a recipient of the NCP (New Colombo Plan) scholarship to study and attend an immersive cultural tour in India through the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. I hope to further my skills in an arts context and understanding of different cultural perspectives and am excited to see where it takes me next.

I would highly recommend Mr Laverty. I was a past student of Proserpine State High School where my English skills were of a low standard. It was Mr Laverty’s teaching skills that allowed me to excel in this subject. Mr Laverty always has his students best interest at heart, offering tutoring sessions to students who could not grasp the concepts of English. Mr Laverty designed his classroom and content suited for his students making it engaging and interesting. I believe if I did not take the advantage of Mr Laverty’s tutoring sessions I certainly would not be where I am today. Further allowing me to achieve an OP where I was later accepted into University. I am currently studying a Bachelor of Nursing Science where I am achieving high results, where I have incorporated foundations on which Mr Laverty taught me.
