Background
This is Not a CV.
It is a commitment.
This is the account of a person who chose teaching because they believe every pupil deserves a teacher who is genuinely curious, rigorously prepared, and deeply committed to their growth.

My Story
My Story
I grew up drawn to two seemingly different worlds: the precision of Mathematics and the creativity of language and music. My Bachelor of Education (Science) in Mathematics and Physics gave me the formal foundation. A second degree and career in software engineering gave me something rarer in education, the ability to see patterns, automate the repetitive, and build systems that serve people. I believe that relationships precede results, that every subject is a doorway to the wider world, and that a teacher who stops learning has already started falling behind.

My internship began here, teaching Mathematics and Physics across KS3 to KS5. I co-patroned a Debate and Public Speaking club that became one of the school's most active co-curricular activities, mentored students in STEM competitions, and composed an original school song adopted by the school community and performed at assemblies, one of the moments I am most proud of in my teaching life.

At BGR, my role expanded to include Computer Science. I brought my software engineering skills to whole-school challenges: designing an academic data analysis and reporting system that processes assessment data for the entire school, producing strand-by-strand reports. I also automated the duty rota and other recurring administrative tasks. I work at the intersection of teaching and technology every day, not as a novelty, but as a genuine service to my colleagues and students.

What I Believe About Teaching
What I Believe About Teaching
Curiosity before content
A curious pupil will teach themselves. My job is to ignite and protect that curiosity through paradoxes, real-world connections, and problems that matter beyond the examination hall.
Evidence-informed practice
I track progress rigorously and let data guide how I adapt my teaching, not just how I report it. My data systems exist to serve students, not to satisfy administration.
Relationships first
Trust is the precondition for learning. I invest in knowing every pupil as a person, their strengths, their anxieties, and their potential, before I invest in delivering content.
Continuous refinement
No lesson is perfect. Every lesson is feedback. I reflect, adjust, and try again, and I model that process openly for my students, because learning to improve is itself a lesson worth teaching.
Looking Ahead
Working towards improving as a teacher and exploring postgraduate study in educational technology, data-informed pedagogy, and innovation in education.
