What I'm looking for

I seek roles in inclusive primary or early years settings where I can tutor, assess and mentor learners and staff, support interventions, and continue professional growth.

I am an experienced primary education teacher, tutor and assessor with a BA (Hons) in Sports Studies, a PGCE with QTS, an MA in Education, and Level 3 TAQA assessor certification. My career spans classroom teaching, supply teaching, tutoring, and assessing across early years, primary and further education settings.

I have delivered classroom teaching across key stages, led intervention programmes in reading, writing and maths, mentored PGCE students, and supported learners with additional needs including BSL students at college level. I combine established ICT and management skills with reflective, determined and flexible approaches to meet diverse learner needs.

I am motivated to pass on knowledge in FE, HE and the health, social care and early years sectors, and I value environments that prioritise inclusive practice, professional development and positive learner outcomes.
