About Katie
I teach Year 2 at a public school in the Inner West, which means I have a current WWCC, first aid, and about four hundred tricks for getting kids to do things they don't want to do.
Weekends only during term. A teacher's Sunday night is sacred marking time, so Saturdays are safest. I'm relaxed, I like the kids who ask a million questions, and I will absolutely be roped into whatever game is going. My Vietnamese is good enough to impress grandparents; the kids will mostly get English.
Over the school holidays I'm around on weekdays too and often do half-day and full-day care.
Speaks English and Vietnamese.

Puppeteer, runs kids workshops, Arabic and English
I make puppets and run workshops for kids at libraries and festivals, mostly 4 to 10 year olds. Three or four gigs a month, so I fit sitting around them. I will absolutely make something out of a cereal box with your kids if they're into it, and I'll clean it up after, which I think is the important half. Arabic and English.
