What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can deliver inclusive, tech-enabled primary education, design curriculum, and support learner growth through collaboration and data-driven instruction.

I am a dedicated primary school educator with experience teaching Years 1–4 across classroom and online settings, delivering English, Mathematics, Science, Phonics and Health lessons aligned to international and national curricula.

I design and deliver engaging, data-informed learning units using technology like iPads, Smart Boards, Google Classroom, SeeSaw and InspireAI to differentiate instruction and improve learner outcomes.

I run coding and robotics clubs (Coding Monkey, Scratch), coordinate school events, lead junior primary chapel, and collaborate with colleagues, therapists and parents through termly progress meetings to support each learner holistically.

My achievements include successful online tutoring roles, curriculum design aligned to Cambridge standards, certifications in Scratch coding and multiple professional development courses in remedial approaches, phonics, emotional intelligence and inclusive learning.
