About Me

Hi, I’m Bianca Pandopulos.
My interest in teaching began at the age of seven, a peculiar period of my life when it was considered fashionable to want to be a princess, model or teacher when we "grew up". However, with terrible acting skills and little chance of marrying royalty, I gave up these ideas and instead developed a passion for understanding how other people’s minds worked, particularly children.
In 2010 I completed a Bachelor degree in Science majoring in psychology and physiology at the University of Adelaide, and then spent several months contemplating what to do with it other than fold it into a rather expensive origami paper crane. After working for a brief and unpleasant stint as a research assistant in allied health (main job roles: mail in, mail out, photocopy and repeat!) I have since returned to my teaching roots.
Now currently studying a Masters of Teaching (Primary and Middle Years) at the University of South Australia and privately teaching piano to children, I am fulfilling my childhood dream of becoming a teacher – arguably less glamorous than a princess or model, but certainly more satisfying to me.
In my spare time I play and teach piano, and read obsessively. My dream is to one day live in North America.
