Responsible and assertive when needing to clarify role boundaries.

Interpersonal skills allow us to identify underlying issues and direct students to best services.

Time management champions, often studying and working in multiple roles at once.

Inviting and friendly, we welcome student to seek help.

Not to be mistaken for tutors, editors, or English teachers.

Guides to referencing guides.

Masters of communicating ideas to students, co-workers, and staff of diverse backgrounds.

Empathetic and supportive, our communication skills also include effective listening.

No, we can’t write your resume for you, but have you heard of Deakin Talent?

Team players always communicating with each other and offering assistance.

Open minded to new ideas, methods and ways of improving current practices.

Reflective practices help us learn from our experiences and share knowledge with each other.
