About Me
23 years of teaching, assessing, supporting, marking, planning, running, laughing and living a life dedicated to others – my learners, one thing I’ve learnt is that learning does not always happen the way most people think it happens. It doesn’t always happen best in a classroom or on an online Zoom lesson. Learning can take place on your journey home after a lesson, at home while cooking, on holiday, while watching your favourite show on Netflix, scrolling through Instagram or TikTok, or even while listening to your playlist on Spotify or YouTube.
Learning does not always depend on you attending a course, paying attention in lessons (although this is a very good idea!) or always doing your homework on time (also wise if you don’t want to get told off!). It really depends on whether YOU are interested, motivated or invested in LEARNING. Also, nothing beats being PASSIONATE about learning, ENJOYMENT of the process, and having plenty of FUN working towards your goals.
I believe it is my job to inspire my learners, and to add all of the elements mentioned above in the learning process. For me, learning should be about discovery and curiosity, it should be interesting and there must be plenty of cheerful, humorous, engaging and exciting moments spread throughout a learner’s journey. I don’t believe in only using ‘tried and tested’ techniques to teach my learners, I believe in discovering NEW WAYS, even more effective ways to learn and make progress. I believe in SUPPORTING my learners in ways that work for them as unique individuals, methods that perfectly suit them and their style of learning.
In my view, every learner has untapped potential, or something special inside them that can be used to turn them into GREAT learners. Let me help you find it!
