Raymond Armour

A versatile, reliable and self-motivated educational professional, I have worked in diverse settings including private and state schools, peripatetic teaching and the care and prison sectors. Currently working on a supply basis, I can offer flexibility and an enthusiasm for professional development and meeting new challenges. In addition to teaching Business, Economics and ICT, I have been involved in sports and music activities.

Throughout my career I have developed a very sound and professional relationship with students, staff, academic staff and examining bodies I have worked / liaised with. I believe I can interact particularly well both within both business and academic contexts and also within differing learning environments, as both a teacher and within a pastoral context.
