Summary
Dedicated educator with 13 years of teaching experience. Proficient in utilising interactive whiteboards and ICT tools to enhance learning experiences while maintaining effective classroom management. I enjoy creating lessons that go beyond memorisation, encouraging students to ask questions, explore different approaches, and develop their critical thinking skills. My goal is to build confidence in learners so they can tackle problems independently and appreciate the logic and creativity within mathematics.
