“Teya Skae is one of WEA Sydney’s most experienced and valued lecturers. WEA Sydney is Sydney’s leading adult education institution – established in 1913, it attracts over 16,000 students each year to its vast range of activities. Respected Australia-wide for the quality of its courses, WEA Sydney has always taken extraordinary care in the appointment of the tutors who lead its classes. It can proudly say that its tutors are amongst the best practitioners of their kind, and of our current group, I can state that Teya Skae is in the top rank.
Teya Skae has been a part-time tutor with WEA Sydney since 2005, teaching courses in general health, diet and personal development topics. She is equally at home leading courses in Face Reading or in Chakra Meditation. Her courses have generally been held as full day workshops, primarily held over the weekend. As such, they demand a rare combination of detailed preparation, high level participation, good classroom teaching techniques, and stamina and good humour from the tutor. Teya has excelled in all these areas. Teya has also participated keenly in tutor development workshops and in specific orientation activities.
Teya has shown herself to be a first-rate presenter with an enthusiastic and infectious style, much appreciated by her students. WEA classes offer open enrolment to adult students of all ages and backgrounds, and it is a great challenge to a teacher in Teya’s field to be able to communicate effectively with the whole class – it is to her credit that she has fully met both our standards and the expectations of her students.
I support Teya’s application to relevant positions wholeheartedly, and look forward to her continuing role as a tutor with WEA Sydney.”
