Summary
I am a passionate and dedicated teacher and I am committed to maximising students' potential. I believe in a culture of no limits where students should be listened to and learned from. I also believe in challenging students and setting high standards while offering great care and support at the same time.
With over 23 years of experience as a classroom teacher for all key stages (I have taught French from primary school up to A Level) and over 5 years of experience in coordinating the EAL side of MFL, I believe I am a highly dependable and experienced candidate.
