Teaching

I have been a professional teacher for some 38 years. Whilst my current teaching practice is within online teaching and remote learning environments I have always enjoyed working with my students in a wide range of Educational settings. 

I particularly enjoy working with students whose circumstances have meant that they have not been able to access educational opportunity via traditional routes and are now enabled by technology or new work and life chances to study and achieve their potential. 

I enjoy working with Degree Apprentices as they apply knowledge and skills through academic study within the work environment and by doing so are able to be more effective within their roles and realise their career ambitions.
