Hello. My name is Linda. I have been a secondary school teacher for 6 years. Prior to that I was a medical representative in the pharmaceutical industry and a research scientist. I live with my cat and 2 dogs. I have 2 children that are young adults now and so I know how tough it is to get children to make the most of the opportunities that are offered to them in education. I remember how hard I found learning at school and I like to think I teach with that in mind; addressing misconceptions/misunderstandings head on and navigate students through physics which is a tough subject to learn. I have a diagnosis of dyslexia but this has never held me back and should never be used as an excuse or barrier to learning. We can all learn, it just depends on whether or not we think we can and how hard we are willing to try.
