An educator building the future of learning
I have experience teaching across Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2, having worked in Year 2 and subsequently across Year 4 and Year 6. My current role has given me particular experience supporting older pupils as they prepare for the transition to secondary education, including preparation for grammar school and independent school entrance examinations.
I believe in creating inclusive, ambitious learning environments where every child develops confidence, independence and a lifelong love of learning.
Alongside my classroom experience, I have developed a strong interest in educational technology, digital literacy and creating innovative resources that support both teachers and learners.
I enjoy combining educational expertise with creativity, technology and marketing to develop solutions that improve learning experiences.
