Megan: Australia: Mar 01, 2022

My personality is very outgoing, I am not afraid to meet new people and be confident. I like to think this is an asset when moving overseas as these qualities aid in the process of settling in and making new friends. I am very patient and compassionate, I show great care in my work and for the people I work with. I allow people to feel comfortable around me and for them to let their guard down so as relax and be themselves.
I have previously studied at Deakin University in Australia receiving a degree in Arts, majoring in Contemporary History and Gender and Sexuality Studies. I have a passion for history and cultural studies as I can see the real effects of past events in todays society. Every action taken whether from a small uprising or a major global event is the reason the world is the way it is today. I am constantly reading and analysing historical literature; as well as feminist literature, to understand the attitudes and actions of those throughout history.
I have experience in coaching young kids in netball (commonwealth sport) as well as gymnastics. One was paid employment and the other was on a volunteers basis. I am confident in teaching children and allowing them to learn and grow in their own time. They too teach me about enjoying the little things in life and about having fun. I more recently coached in gymnastics and it was here at this job that I decided to move overseas to teach children abroad. I enjoyed coaching, however, I feel I know more about English and cultural studies to be a confident and successful teacher.
