Known for motivating students and fostering inclusive, technology-integrated learning environments. Proven track record in boosting engagement and academic performance through innovative lesson planning and effective communication.
I have since retirement done some private tutoring.
I am particularly interested in helping children engage with their education and fostering a positive relationship as i believe that when a child is relaxed and confident in themselves they are better able to learn and achieve success.
I have completed many courses and attended conferences on many different topics. including

How to cater for Gifted and Talented Students
Motivating and Managing Hard to Reach, uninterested and Disruptive Students
