Experience

I have over 25 years of teaching experience. In the beginning of my teaching career I taught French and Business Studies in both state and private secondary schools. After some years living in France and volunteering as a primary English teacher, I decided upon returning to the UK, to switch to teaching at primary level. I completed a TESOL course and recently used this knowledge to help a Ukrainian lady improve her English.

I am thoroughly enjoying teaching pupils at Susan Daughtrey Education. In the classroom I create a well paced and supportive atmosphere.

Additional information

I like to be able to offer the students the most supportive learning environment in a small group situation.

I’m married with three teenagers, two boys and a girl. In my spare time I enjoy walking our dog in Windsor Great Park, gardening, baking, going to Aqua Aerobics, rock climbing with my children, as well as competing against them at Just Dance.
