About
Dedicated and highly experienced Physics and Science Educator with over 22 years of teaching experience, specialising in Physics, General Science and Integrated Science at Junior and Senior High School levels. I hold a Bachelor of Education in Physics, a Master of Education in Physics and UK Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).
I bring extensive experience in curriculum planning, standards-based instruction, differentiated teaching, classroom management, student assessment and data-driven instruction. I am skilled in designing engaging, inquiry-based and hands-on learning experiences that develop students' scientific literacy, critical thinking, problem-solving and practical application of scientific concepts.
My professional background includes STEM education coordination, teacher training, instructional leadership and student mentorship. I have also participated in international STEM education initiatives through the PhET Fellowship at the University of Colorado Boulder and the Harvard University LabXchange Teacher Ambassador programme, strengthening my expertise in educational technology, virtual laboratories and technology-enhanced learning.
I am committed to fostering inclusive, supportive and academically challenging classroom environments where students from diverse backgrounds can succeed. I am enthusiastic about bringing my international teaching experience, strong subject knowledge and passion for STEM education to a US school community while adapting effectively to American curriculum standards and school expectations.
