Experience
I have my working with children check. For more then 10 years I have been a teacher. I love to make the learning materials as personal as posible; costume made. With a background as a primary school teacher and drama teacher I’ve taught on the Bachelor Education, for primary school teachers in Leiden, the Netherlands. My role in the team was finding creative solutions for complex situations and creating some more air and space for the ones involved, thereby reaching consensus quicker. I’ve used my background in different forms of education; being a primary school teacher and a drama teacher (which both requires a different sort of teacher, a different learning environment, a different curriculum and a different learning method). I’m getting inspired by educators as Gert Biesta (educator in the Netherlands, Norway and England) who states that the learning experience should be unique, following the student’s own imagination. This entails that there is no right or wrong in outcome, since the focus is on the learning process of the individual. And I got inspired by John Hattie (New Zealand, Australia) who states that a student should be looked at trough his or her own eyes. Helping the students to become their own master. I use my inspiration in my daily work, currently this is as a private teacher and before in my work as a teacher and coach of starting teachers. My approach is playful working on creating boundaries but most of all creating the space everyone can work in. Always trying to work with “pedagogical tact”: trying to do the right thing, on the right moment, getting support from my students. Besides my work as a private teacher I also run the Dutch playgroup in Port Melbourne (0-5 years old) and I'm president of Dutch Language Australia inc. And currently I'm teaching at the CAE.

Hobbies
I followed my husband to Melbourne Australia; where he got the opportunity to work for a couple of years. One year turned into two and now we just don't now when we'll and if we go back :) I love my stay in Melbourne. I've met a lot of lovely people. I enjoy the culture, the city life, the food and the coffees, the gallerys and the nature around Melbourne. In my spare time I love to draw and write. Watch movies. Bake cakes and cookies and prepair diners for friends. I enjoy (push)biking around. Want to know more about me? Check my facebook profile at facebook.com/jufmadelief of my website at jufmadelief.com
