Through my many years of teaching I have developed an excellent understanding of the National curriculum for KS3 and KS4 so I know how to pitch learning that is appropriately challenging and plans for progression. I also work as an Edexcel GCSE examiner so I have a good understanding of how topics are assessed in exams, how marks are awarded and how to apply mark schemes correctly. In addition to this, I have always prided myself on my commitment to producing lessons that are creative and engaging, and that stretch and challenge all pupils regardless of their starting point.
