After graduating with a BA ed HONs in education and Technology at Reading University in England, I have been a primary teacher for 22 years in the UK and now a full-time tutor. I have worked for White Rose, using the approaches to enable children to have a deep understanding of new mathematical concepts by using equipment before creating pictorial representations alongside abstract models. I have been the maths lead in a number of schools to develop the subject and many teachers subject knowledge in my community. I have a passion for teaching mathematics and for making it fun and memorable to enable children to learn. I taught abroad in Malaysia for 3 years, teaching children with a range of skills including english as a second language. I didn't need a TEFAL course due to my degree and experience teaching in England.
