Summary

I am a passionate secondary science teacher with a particular focus on biology. I deliver engaging lessons and foster a positive learning environment for both children and young adults from Y7 onwards. I employ evidence-based teaching strategies, such as Rosenshine’s Principles of Instruction and Teaching Like a Champion, to promote academic success and student development. I am eager to contribute to co-curricular activities and support students in their personal and academic growth. I seek to bring my diverse teaching experience and commitment to holistic education to a private secondary school.
