Teaching Experience and Academic Development

Teaching experience

I’m very passionate about teaching and regularly improve both my teaching and learning skills by taking part in relevant teaching sessions and/or development programs. I aim to create inclusive and safe learning environments for students and have had experience teaching both on-campus in a face-to-face environment and online via Zoom. Anonymous student feedback on my teaching has included the following:

 Stephanie explained things nicely and clearly which solved many questions that i did not understand well from lecture.

Couldn’t ask for better! She made tutorials a very safe learning environment so I had no issues asking questions because I don’t fear being judged. 

Excellent teaching and mentoring in all areas by Stephanie… Love this subject and Stephanie was definitely part of it.
