This site has been created as part of my studies at CQ University Rockhampton, for the course 'Supportive Learning Environments' in the Graduate Diploma of Learning and Teaching (Primary).

Prior to commencing this course I have previously worked in adult education at TAFE teaching ESL, Adult Literacy and Information Technology, as well as teaching Indonesian language, Folk Art Painting and Asian Cooking hobby courses. I have also worked teaching English as a Foreign Language in Taiwan to children and adults.
I believe in creating a positive learning environment where students feel comfortable to take risks and believe in their own ability to achieve success. My goal is to bring out the best in students by giving them interesting and valuable learning experiences, and establishing effective relationships with them based on mutual respect within a caring and supportive environment.
