My Experience
I am an experienced Primary School Teacher with more than 15 years of service. I have taught from Year 1 to Year 6, led KS1, as well as a number of subjects including Maths and Science. Working as part of the senior leadership, I led initiatives in raising attainment and developing teaching and learning. Our efforts were awarded with an outstanding by the Independent Schools Inspectorate.
For many years now, I have supported individual students in maths, reading and writing in preparation for the SATs exams. I have also worked with children who are working at the level of 11+.
Throughout my years of teaching I have gained experience in supporting children with a variety of learning needs, working in both the state and private sector, which has given me the skills and experience to support all children in reaching high standards and attaining their full potential.
I spent 5 years living in Thailand where I taught English as a Foreign Language to KS1, KS2, KS3 and adults.
As well as a yoga and mediation teacher, I am qualified to teach mindfulness in schools. I work with schools to help integrate mindfulness into the curriculum to improve health and well being.
