Summary

I am a highly experienced and passionate teacher with extensive experience in all three primary phases in both the UK and UAE. I have excellent subject and pedagogical knowledge with particular expertise in EAL and Inclusion. My high expectations of all and ability to quickly build trust and strong relationships with all pupils helps me to ensure every student achieves well and enjoys their learning. I am enjoying being back in the classroom after taking time out to start a family.
