TEACHING EXPERIENCE

After Elizabeth qualified as a teacher in 2012, she has worked as a teacher in Kindergarten and Grades 1-5. She also has experience as a supply teacher and a learning officer at a nature reserve. She loves the range of subjects and ages she has been able to teach, as she has so many different interests herself. Louisa has expertise in exam moderation and mathematics. We work together, to create our resources, so that we can make the best possible resources with our joint skills.

MY TEACHING STYLE

We enjoy designing lessons which are creative, interactive and engaging. Our lessons often involve multiple activities including drama and art. We understand that each child in the class is individual and aim to adapt all worksheets and activities to ensure that everyone is challenged and reaches their full potential. We are also passionate about outdoor learning.
