Szuen Lim
Bachelor of Commerce, Bachelor of Laws (Honours)
University of Melbourne, Melbourne 
"I believe that every child has the ability to learn and that education opens a world of opportunities. I hope that my time in the classroom will allow me to channel my knowledge, skills and passion towards the goal of engaging, inspiring and empowering my students.
My experience at Teach For Australia so far is unlike any that I've ever had. Every day, I question my beliefs and assumptions, reflect on my personal experiences, draw on my technical knowledge, and think about my goals and responsibility to each one of my students. I already treasure all the new friendships formed with my cohort and I know that once I hit the classroom, their support will be of real and ongoing assistance.
I have a very clear vision of where I want to take my students. I do not know if my strategies will work each time, but what I do know is that I am committed to re-evaluating, modifying and changing them until I achieve my goal. I am inspired to become the best teacher I can be."
Justin Woolley
Bachelor of Aerospace Engineering
RMIT University, Melbourne
"I graduated from University in 2007 and prior to joining Teach for Australia was working as an engineer. While studying I was involved in educating Year 9 and 10 students about space science. This gave me an insight into just how rewarding education can be.
As an engineer I am passionate about science and technology and am well aware of the skill shortages in these fields in Australia. By participating in the Teach for Australia program I hope to inspire students, who may not have considered it, to continue studying maths and science.
For me, Teach for Australia is an amazing opportunity to contribute to the community and help students from disadvantaged backgrounds reach anywhere they want to go in society."
