About Joanna D'cruz
With over a decade of dedicated experience in the dynamic field of education, I have had the privilege of guiding learners of all ages, each with their unique personalities, backgrounds, and challenges. My mission is to unearth the spark within every student, nurturing a love for learning and equipping them with the essential skill of self-directed education.
My academic journey has taken me across the globe, equipping me with a profound understanding of education and human development. I hold a Master of Education (MEd) in Developmental Psychology from the esteemed Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore, a testament to my commitment to understanding the intricacies of how individuals learn and grow. Furthermore, I earned a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Psychology & Addiction Studies from Edith Cowan University in Australia, complementing my expertise in addressing the multifaceted needs of learners. Additionally, my Advanced Diploma in Special Needs Education from the College of Allied Educators solidifies my proficiency in catering to students with diverse learning requirements.
My career as an educator is not merely a profession; it's a passion that fuels my unwavering dedication to the success of every student I encounter. I firmly believe in the unique potential that lies within each learner and have honed my skills to tailor my teaching approach to their specific needs. Building strong relationships founded on trust and mutual respect is paramount to my teaching philosophy, as it fosters an environment where students feel safe and motivated to strive for their highest goals.
My holistic and inclusive teaching approach goes beyond traditional methods. As students acquire new skills under my guidance, they not only become more confident but also independent learners and critical thinkers. My techniques are designed to enhance neurosensorimotor, cognitive, and academic abilities, ensuring that students are well-equipped for both academic success and personal growth.
