Summary
I am an experienced teacher, skilled in working with primary school-aged children. I also have experience in Early Years education and a play-based curriculum which provides children with an essential foundation for learning. I care about student success and helping children reach their full potential. I believe that making positive relationships with students is key to their success.
I am calm, patient, and adaptable, and know how to nurture young learners by building their knowledge, skills, and confidence, setting them up for future academic development.
