Summary

Teaching is all about inspiring children to reach their full potential. I believe that all children are individuals and, with the right support, all have the potential to achieve great things. A good teacher should inspire, build confidence and allow children to see that they can do anything if they work hard enough. As a teacher, I believe that this is my key job.

Over the last 25 years, I have been lucky enough to work with hundreds of children and support them on their educational journey. I have worked across the whole of KS2, with the vast majority of my time spent in year 6. As a result, I have a good working knowledge of maths and English through the primary range and the KS2 SATS tests. I pride myself on trying to find the best in all children and supporting them to be ready for the next step in their educational journey.
