Thought I'd start a thread for anyone at VCESS on AN to discuss.
Introduce yourself if you're taking part
I'll start!
I'm tutoring Biology 3/4 and am also co-head of the TSO team. If you haven't met us yet, shame on us—but basically we're here to help you if you're stuck with your classes and we're also certified recipients of awesome ideas (pls tell us if you have one, we love to share them!). Workshop wise, I'm hoping to run a workshop on Introduction to Spanish and also a workshop on Research Methods, which is new to the science courses this year.
This is my third VCESS.
I'm most excited to meet all of my new students and tutors, and see old ones who've come back. I'm particularly excited to see some of my old students, as I taught a year 11 class last year that was full of hilarious kids.
My biggest worry coming into VCESS is making my classes go well. Obviously all of the TSOs are really experienced tutors, but I know personally I still really worry that my class won't respond to my teaching. That can be really bruising initially, but I'm confident that I can respond to that quickly and change things up if it happens
