BA, PGCE

I am delighted to be a tutor for Wolsey Hall, supporting families and helping children reach their potential. Having been both a tutor and a Wolsey Hall parent, I believe that Wolsey Hall provides a wonderful, nurturing environment where students can thrive, and I strongly advocate for the flexibility and opportunities that homeschooling offers.
After leaving the pharmaceutical industry, I followed my heart into education, where I have been working for over 10 years, both in the UK and in British international schools in Sweden and Romania. My international school experience has given me a wonderful appreciation of cultural diversity, as well as extensive experience working with non-native English speakers within the British curriculum.
Maths, English, and Computing all build a solid foundation for students’ development. Through my teaching experience, I’ve worked with students in these subjects to build skills they can use every day: Maths encourages logical thinking and problem-solving, while English enhances communication and creativity. Computing combines these skills by applying logic through coding and developing precise, clear digital communication. I have particularly enjoyed running extra-curricular math games and coding clubs in the past and now love seeing my students’ creative computing projects, where they use various applications to develop their stories and coding skills!
Throughout my schools career, I have worked with students across the ability range, from gifted and talented learners to those with mild learning difficulties and social and emotional educational needs. At the heart of my teaching, I encourage students to embrace new challenges and maintain a positive attitude toward their learning by fostering a growth mindset. My goal is to support and challenge students through meaningful feedback that promotes their personal development.
Outside of teaching, I love spending time with family and friends and have an ever-growing list of interests: traveling, history, cultural activities, current affairs, tennis, walking, water-based activities, camping, and, most importantly, food!

Having grown up in Liverpool with most holidays spent in North Wales, I enjoy city living with nature on the doorstep. My family and I enjoy both the vibrancy and tranquillity that Romania offers.
