TEACHING EXPERIENCE

This is my 15th year teaching. I taught two years in the outback, (very small school setting), five years overseas (England, US and Japan) and almost eight years in my current school.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I love it when students work in small groups, share ideas and teach each other. Many students are highly motivated by games so if I can turn an activity into something fun and memorable, I will. In my classroom, I like to have a mix of student work displayed and teaching posters.
