Bio

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 Applied Science.

I am motivated by a strong passion for learning, and this translates directly into my teaching practice, helping students to build understanding, confidence, and long-term independence through structured challenge, clear scaffolding, purposeful feedback, and strong relationships with students and families.

Interests

  • Inquiry-based and project-based science learning, including CREST projects
  • Metacognitive strategies that build independent, exam-ready learners
  • Inclusive classroom practice for EAL cohorts and diverse SEN needs
  • Educational technology and bespoke tools for assessment and reporting
  • Personal interests in cycling, edtech development, travel, and cultural learning

Teaching Philosophy

I combine inquiry-based learning with explicit modelling, self-explanation, and reflection so students can connect ideas deeply, think critically, and perform confidently in assessments.
