Above all, I believe in motivating students through positivity and humour, because it's hard to learn if you're miserable! I have a proven track record of building strong student relationships that result in measurable improvements in academic achievement and attitude, including successful remediation for exam resits.

Encouraging a culture of inquiry and ownership, I empower students to ask questions and take charge of their educational path. By fostering a collaborative environment, I instill a sense of accountability and curiosity that propels their growth.


Reflection is integral to both my teaching philosophy and practice. I encourage students to revisit their past work, tracing their evolution and identifying areas for improvement.
