I am a former Headteacher and now Senior Lecturer in Education with over 15 years of experience. I have taught in the British Curriculum throughout my career and worked for Government Schools, International Schools, and Education Departments. I am passionate about learning and the processes of developing rich and authentic understanding until learners master skills and objectives. I also believe in nurturing a growth mindset through explicit teaching of thinking skills needed for learning. This approach builds confidence and perseverance to overcome difficulties. With a mixture of; appropriate challenge, precise support, and fun, we can build a learning journey together.
