TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have been a teacher for over a decade and now work with over 60 schools as an educational advisor, helping them with technology in education and media literacy. Belinda, my wife, is an aspiring teacher and creates incredible resources for little learners, as we have three of them ourselves.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I like to let kids experiment and discover and learn through group work where possible. I like to teach units of work that are open ended and allow students to create in different ways.
