Summary

I am a dedicated and professional primary schoolteacher, passionate about children's learning and development.

Until my recent retirement, I shared a busy week between 2 local primary schools, planning, preparing and delivering the full curriculum to composite Key Stage classes.

I am an enthusiastic educator who believes in making the classroom an exciting and enjoyable environment.

I'm currently based in Spain after spending a wonderful year working as an English Language Assistant in a primary school in Torremolinos.
