My Passion & How I Inspire

I'm quite a friendly person, so try and instil that in my teaching and make the classroom a relaxed place to be. That said, I expect my students to want to be there and to try! I won't do your work for you or just teach you how to answer a specific question, but to encourage you to understand why an answer is correct so you can answer any question that comes up. Hopefully you come out feeling much happier!

My Experience
