What I'm looking for

I am seeking opportunities that allow me to combine my passion for education and the arts, fostering creativity and learning in a collaborative environment.

With over two decades of experience in private home tuition, I specialize in mathematics for Junior and Leaving Certificate students. My commitment to education is reflected in my ability to communicate complex mathematical concepts effectively, fostering a supportive learning environment that encourages student success.

In addition to my teaching career, I have a rich background in the performing arts. I have produced and acted in various theatrical productions, including a successful run of King Lear, where I managed all aspects from casting to marketing, resulting in ticket sales that exceeded production costs. My diverse skill set allows me to engage audiences both in the classroom and on stage.
