Qualifications: BA (Joint Hons) in Economics and Italian, University of Leeds and PGCE, UCL
Teaching Experience: Qualified teacher since 2005 (19 years)
Role: Member (partner) of SDE (Tuition) LLP
I have been a qualified teacher for almost 20 years working in both state and independent schools. I began as a form teacher, teaching all subjects in Years 4, 5 and 6. For several years and prior to having children of my own, I was also the Head of Maths and a member of the Senior Leadership Team.
Helping all children to achieve and develop a love of Maths has always been a goal of mine. Since moving to Buckinghamshire, I have been working part time in schools, including being a Year 5 form teacher, alongside private tutoring.
In more recent years, I have been working as a Maths specialist teacher in Years 4 to 6 in a local independent prep school. I joined the SDE tuition partnership in 2019 and I am currently teaching three Year 5 11+ classes at SDE Beaconsfield.
I really enjoy working with children and watching their knowledge, skills and confidence grow.
