As an experienced teacher, I have cultivated a robust skill set across staff management, curriculum design, assessment methodologies, student support, professional development and research. My overarching goal is to nurture a deep love of learning in every individual and empower them to achieve their potential. I excel at creating an engaging educational environment that caters to diverse learning styles and needs, ensuring that the students thrive both academically and personally. To achieve this I use a simple, approachable communication style which helps to reduce learning barriers and sparks trust in the teaching process.
