Shayla Newcombe – Teacher
Hi, I’m Shayla.
I grew up in Woodlands and I am a qualified Early Childhood teacher. Not only do I tutor, but I also work as a special needs teacher in a primary school.
In my spare time I love to listen to music, dance, read, crochet and cuddle my Cavoodle, Axel.
Favourites:
- Hobbies: Reading
- Colour: Yellow
- Flower: Sunflower
- Movies: The Greatest Showman and Harry Potter
- Music artist: Taylor Swift
What I love about teaching is getting to build positive relationships with the children and getting to watch them learn, grow, develop and build self-confidence. I believe in order to build those relationships we as educators should provide children with fun and supportive learning environments that include their interests and their voices!
