I am an innovative and reflective Secondary Science teacher currently teaching at Netherthorpe School in Chesterfield. I teach across KS3 to KS4 in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, and at KS5 in A Level Chemistry and Applied Science.
I am motivated by helping students build science capital, confidence, and long-term independence through structured challenge, clear scaffolding, purposeful feedback, and strong relationships with students and families.
