About
My name is Asha Day. I'm a high school English teacher with a background in Psychology and a passion for using our understandings of the teenage brain to inform educational practice. I'm also the wife of a teacher, daughter of teachers and a sister to a teacher (and a lawyer and a zoologist!). Depending on where the whims of my three wonderful children take them, I may also be mum to a teacher (or teachers!) one day.
I did my undergraduate degree in Psychology at UWA before going travelling and deciding that it wasn't the path for me. After a year as an intern at The Prem Tinsulanonda International School in Chiang Mai, Thailand, and working as a nanny and then a teacher's assistant at a PRU (Pupil Referral Unit) in London... I decided to pursue teaching as a career. I returned to UWA to do post graduate study in History and English, and then completed my DipEd with majors in those subjects. I taught with my now husband at Georgiana Molloy Anglican School in Busselton for a few years before heading overseas again to work at Renaissance College Hong Kong. I resigned from my job in June, 2011 to commit to raising our first child, and we've since added two more to our lively gang. I have been tutoring in English for many years now and have recently commenced my MEd externally through the Queensland University of Technology.
