I started teaching in 2022. I currently teach Functional Skills/ GCSE Maths to Adult Community Learners but started as a teacher for primary school level. I have a PCGE from Nottingham University and experience teaching Maths to all ages - primary, secondary, further education and adult learners, so I have an understanding of the whole journey of learning. Maths is exciting and fun and I hope to share that with you!
I graduated with a Biology degree from St. Andrews University, but have also always enjoyed learning Maths, having done both Maths and Further Maths at A level. I have previously worked as a medical devices specialist running my own company and have the practical experience to link maths concepts to real-life applications.
I currently teach GCSE Maths to various ages of learners - 16-19 y/o at College, Functional Skills Maths to Adult Community Education groups and tutor small groups at Secondary School for their GCSE Maths. I have also trained to teach maths at Primary school level - this gives me a good understanding of the foundational building blocks that are so important to help develop deeper understanding of the subject.
After many years running a small business specialising in surgical devices for NHS hospitals, I decided to take the plunge and make a late career change into teaching Maths. I wish that I had done it sooner! I have a wide range of interests in science, arts and music and am a keen mountaineer
I am passionate about enabling learners to access Maths and like to take a fun and inquisitive approach to the subject. I want learners to really enjoy their learning journey.
