I love teaching maths…
…and previously did so in secondary school for 13 years. As a Head of Maths and senior leader, I led successful departments and managed whole school initiatives, consequently developing a broader and deeper understanding of how best to engage, support and inspire young learners.
I have led a number of research projects all of which have afforded me an informed academic and practitioner-based insight into maths education.
My teaching and research has focused primarily on students’ confidence, motivation and connection to maths, so they are fully engaged in their own learning and achievement goals.
I am fiercely passionate about guaranteeing positive educational experiences for all and my goal will always be to ensure that my students make excellent progress, whilst retaining a positive view of maths.
