I graduated with a degree in Maths and Economics from Lancaster University in the UK. The first part of my career was spent working in primary schools in the UK teaching Year 2, Year 4, and Year 6. I have worked internationally for 17 years in Oman, the UAE and Bahrain as a primary school and secondary school maths teacher. I have also had responsibility for primary school maths in several schools. 

I encourage the students in my classes to recognise and celebrate their successes regularly and the expectation is that they strive to achieve success. My philosophy has always been to facilitate and enable each student to reach their potential and I believe this works best via a partnership between student, teacher, and parents. Out of school I love to relax with a book – science fiction and fantasy being my favourite genres. I enjoy playing golf and I am looking forward to playing on some courses there!
