About the store
Welcome to Treasures for Thematic Teaching!
As my store name suggests, I’m passionate about creating engaging, theme-based resources that bring learning to life. I’ve worked in education for over 20 years, teaching preschool, junior, and senior school classes. Along the way, I’ve run a “Moms and Babies” group, mentored aspiring teachers, and co-authored two English textbooks.
I’ve also started my own business and helped design a “Catch-Up” Programme for an NPO supporting learners who are developmentally behind in their milestones.
Today, I work from home on Treasures for Thematic Teaching, enjoying the flexibility that allows me to be more present for my sons while continuing to pour my creativity and experience into resources that inspire teachers and engage students.

Teaching style
I’m passionate about exploring fresh, creative ways to teach content and skills, because no two students learn the same way. I love discovering strategies that reach every learner and make lessons meaningful. Themes are at the heart of my approach, as they naturally connect subjects and create rich, cross-curricular learning experiences.
