Advocate of a child-centred approach.Learning through practical and engaging experiences that embraces every learning style. "I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I understand." I believe a teacher's most important role is, in the words of Kahil Kilbran,to ". . . lead you to the threshold of your own mind."
Gained accreditation status with the Open College Network for my early years math program. Won national awards for Drama and Science with my students - including a presentation at BAFTA.

I have travelled the world researching teaching methods that reflect the way the brain learns best. Since retiring I have continued to create educational programs software to accompany them. I love writing and have just completed my first Kindle book - an updated version of Dicken's "A Christmas Carol". I intend publishing programs to support writing and spelling as well as the drama scripts I have written over the years. My blogs relate to education and supporting aspiring Kindle authors. You can find them at: http://helpyourchildsucceed.blogspot.com Currently I am writing a children book for older readers.
