Experienced KS3 and GCSE Science teacher
About
I have worked as a secondary school Science teacher for 18 years in a variety of schools, both non-selective state schools and in the private sector. I am experienced in working with diverse communities, delivering engaging learning and enrichment activities, and building positive professional relationships across school communities.
I have achieved excellent outcomes with pupils with SEN and EAL needs through adaptive teaching, relationship-building and high expectations.
I have taught KS3 Science and GCSE Science (AQA) throughout my career. I also have experience of teaching PSHE using the Jigsaw programme.
