"Teaching is something I will always enjoy. Being taught by lecturers and tutors with years of experience in the Bachelor of Education course at ECU has helped me develop my skills. I have also been able to apply my new knowledge in a hands-on way. On one of my professional practice placements, I had to find multiple ways to teach the concept of money. After several attempts, the pupils finally grasped the concept and I realised I had actually made a difference to their learning and understanding."
