㋛ Tried and Tested ㋛

I am used to teaching mixed-ability classes with EAL students and all my students can rise to this challenge, from those who are below to those who are above grade level. I only list materials that have been successful and I always collect feedback from my students to ensure high engagement and rigour.

Lean on me and my 20+ years of experience in the classroom – I’m here for you!
