Student Tutors

Hi, my name is Amy Patterson. I’m originally from Lithgow, but in my senior years I moved to the Central Coast and attended Lake Munmorah High where I excelled in Ancient History (1st in class) and Advanced English (4th). From here, I applied for a Primary Teaching degree (Honours) at the University of Newcastle. I am currently in year 4, semester 2. My biggest passion next to teaching is my animals. I have a dog, (Dave), cat, (Casper), my house Rabbit who is also toilet trained (Anna) and my 5 fish tanks (4 tropical, 1 saltwater). I love organising, and I am always organised way before any assignments or appointments are due. I was previously working at KFC Lake Haven for 5 years until 2018 when I quit. This job allowed me to get a perspective into working, and what was needed to be done to keep customers happy and keep the store clean and hygienic- whilst making some great friends. As a tutor, I hope to not only further pursue my teaching career, but to make a difference in children’s lives, whether it be, helping them with study strategies, homework or helping them become a better person.
