I am an experienced and pupil-centred education professional with a strong background in pastoral care and inclusion.

My approach is rooted in developing resilience, self-belief and motivation, drawing on my experience in mentoring, leadership and coaching. I believe I am dynamic in my style and influenced by my background in sport, music and performance, where I have seen the impact of mindset and discipline on success. My teaching approach is student-centred, adaptive and it is focused on building both confidence and independence. I begin by listening and understanding each student’s strengths and challenges and then use this to shape my support. I believe I can break down learning into manageable steps and from my own time management skills, be able to impart this knowledge to support students. I place a strong emphasis on creating a supportive and inclusive environment where students feel safe to take risks and learn from mistakes. Alongside academic skills, I believe I have the skills to teach organisation and study strategies, helping students become more independent learners. My aim is not only to support immediate progress but to equip students with the tools and mindset needed for long-term success.
