Summary

I am a passionate and dedicated educator with a strong background in creative arts and over three years’ experience in primary education, including one-to-one support and full class teaching across multiple key stages. Through the TES Straight to Teach programme, I have developed a dynamic, evidence-informed teaching style that fosters independent thinking, inclusivity, and a love of learning. With a commitment to pastoral care, curriculum enrichment, and inclusive practice, I am eager to contribute positively to the life and ethos of a thriving school community.
