About me

I am a caring teacher who specialises in teaching social, emotional, moral, and academic competencies in international primary schools.

I build positive and supportive classroom environments where children love to learn

With over a decade of experience teaching in international primary school classrooms, a PGCEi, and a Master of Arts in Education, I have honed both the art and the science of teaching. I have additional experience in curriculum development, teacher training, mentoring, and school coordinator roles. I specialise in teaching as an international primary school homeroom teacher in contexts with a strong emphasis on English language acquisition and the development of social, emotional, moral and academic competencies.

My years of experience have been gained in a mixture of classroom, online, and blended learning environments. I have taught students of all ages from five years old up to adults, and in a wide variety of language and ability contexts. However, the one thing that remains constant is my emphasis on building strong learning relationships to help establish a classroom environment where every student feels comfortable, supported, and confident to participate.

I do anything and everything to do with education – from teaching children to training teachers, curriculum development to school coordinating, database building to resource making, No matter what your school needs I can help.
