Meet Charlotte
I’ve always loved books, and over time I’ve discovered that my real passion lies in supporting children as they learn to read. I’ve worked with kids in a variety of settings, including before and after school care, which first sparked an interest in education and eventually led me to MultiLit.
I’ve now been a tutor here for almost two years and have recently completed a Bachelor of Arts (Pathway to Teaching Primary). I’d initially planned to go on to a Master of Teaching, but I’ve since realised how much I enjoy one-to-one, literacy-focused work.
Why do you enjoy being a Senior Tutor at the MultiLit Literacy Centres?
One of the things I enjoy most about working for MultiLit is seeing students become more confident in their literacy skills and in themselves. There’s something really special about watching a child’s face light up when they can read something that once seemed impossible. Being a part of that journey is really rewarding.
As a Senior Tutor, I’m excited to share what I have learned, support other tutors and to help create a really positive, encouraging environment for all students and staff.
What do you wish more people understood about learning to read, literacy or education?
I wish more people understood that children learn to read at different paces. Some children pick things up quickly, while others need more time, repetition and reassurance, and that’s completely okay. Slow progress doesn’t mean they can’t do it, rather it means they need more explicit support. When we meet children where they’re at and give them the tools they need, every learner is capable of making meaningful progress.
