Hello!
I entered the teaching profession due to a belief that I could make a difference to the lives of students by promoting a professional, secure classroom environment in which each person could achieve his or her maximum potential. The most effective learning is a fun thing to do and we will have a great time learning to enjoy English together! I have experience of raising my own children (one of whom has special educational needs involving dyspraxia) and of dealing with children of varying ages.
In addition to teaching English, I enjoy all genres of music as well as walking our dogs in the hills and forests of our village. I consider myself to be a highly organised, experienced, hard working person. I am always polite and punctual. I maintain excellent classroom management by using a range of techniques including agreed ground rules, praise, reward and merit systems, I have a very keen sense of humour, and believe that I provide a good blend of humour and discipline which helps to create a safe and positive learning environment for the students in my care.

Teaching Style
I prefer to blend formal and informal styles of teaching to create an enjoyable learning environment. My favourite word is "why?" I take great pleasure in promoting the curiosity of students so that they are encouraged to ask many questions. I have completed several courses regarding the teaching of students with Autism, teaching the Welsh Language and emergency strategies and protocols such as Restraint Training.
