Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! I’m an experienced, passionate, and friendly Science Teacher with over 12 years of teaching experience, specialising in Chemistry. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Biotechnology and Chemistry, a Postgraduate Diploma in Science Education, Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) within the United Kingdom, a National Professional Qualification in Lead Teaching (NPQLT), a National Award in Special Educational Needs and Disability, and a Master’s degree in Clinical Chemistry and Biomedical Science.
I am dedicated to providing engaging and stimulating learning experiences that help students grasp scientific concepts, empowering them to make informed decisions. Over the years, I have taught Chemistry, Biology, and Physics to secondary school students (ages 11 to 19), as well as integrated science to elementary school students (ages 8 to 12).
I love teaching science because it is everywhere! When students learn to ask questions, observe, hypothesise, experiment, record results, and think independently, they develop skills that will help them navigate an ever-changing world. My goal as a science teacher is to help children see that science is all around them, from the smallest patch of grass to the busiest pavement, and that their curiosity can uncover amazing insights about the world.
My teaching philosophy centers on creating a unique, inclusive classroom community where every student feels valued. I strive to build a stimulating educational environment that supports physical, mental, emotional, and social growth. By recognising and nurturing each child's potential and learning style, I aim to inspire a lifelong love of science and discovery.
