Summary

I am a motivated and reflective primary education graduate with a 2:1 BA (Hons) from Northumbria University, specialising in PSHE and Key Stage 2 curriculum delivery. My training and placements have equipped me with strong skills in lesson planning, classroom management, and applying pedagogical theory to support effective teaching and learning. I have experience using interactive teaching approaches, effective feedback strategies, and positive reinforcement to encourage pupil progress and engagement. Confident in managing behaviour and adapting lessons to meet individual needs, I am committed to creating inclusive, well-structured learning environments. My background also includes a Level 3 qualification in Childcare, which developed my early understanding of child development, safeguarding, and curriculum knowledge.
