Seeing students develop and grow in their ability and subject knowledge, achieving things they never thought possible. Those ‘lightbulb’ moments when a student finally ‘gets it’ and can move their learning forward. Being a teacher allows me to be creative everyday in communicating my passion for your subject, and from a personal point of view, the unpredictable nature of the classroom means I am always learning, developing my practice and adapting to new situations.
Geography is so relevant. Pick up newspaper and the headlines are rarely far from the subjects we study. Right now, Climate Change, Mass Migration, Urbanisation, Desertification and Defestation are all highly newsworthy topics and studied in depth in the Geography classroom at all levels. These are the issues that young people will need to tackle as they grow up, and Geography gives them a solid grounding for this.
Very. The teacher student relationship is what is important. A passionate, skilled teacher and an enthusiastic student ensure that the online environment is no barrier to learning.
As well as having teenage sons, I coach and manage a Youth football Team. I play snooker, and am very into scale model making. I am also very keen on art, and was recently highly commended for my entries in the SAAs Artist of the Year competition.
I have been teaching maths for 14 years. I trained at University College London.
My favourite subject is maths. I like solving problems. In particular, I enjoy mechanics which is part of the A-level course.
My proudest moments in teaching are on results days. I love seeing students getting their grades, after all their hard work.
Which way is gravity?
Helping students become more confident in maths.
I trained at Southampton University and finished my PGCE in 2005. I taught in secondary school for 2 years and then moved to a maritime academy where I was teaching GCSE level maths and also basic meteorology. Weather forecasting is my first love and combining it with teaching has been a complete joy.
