Experience

Hi! I’m a former maths teacher who loves turning tricky topics into fun, flexible activities. I create print-and-go resources that help students engage, think, and enjoy the process—while saving teachers time and stress. Follow Bright Minds Blossom for creative classroom ideas that blend structure with spark.

Teaching style

I’m all about making learning fun—without the fluff. My teaching style has always been a mix of structure, creativity, and challenge. I love using games, puzzles, and purposeful activities that keep students thinking and engaged, without ever feeling like busywork.

Awards & shining teacher moments

One of the parts of teaching I enjoyed most was mentoring trainee teachers—I loved helping them find their confidence and style in the classroom. I also regularly created resources that were shared across our department, including my (very competitive!) annual Christmas quiz, which became a bit of a tradition.

My own education history

I originally studied Psychology at university, and later completed university-level Maths courses through the Open University to pursue my PGCE in Secondary Mathematics. That blend of learning how students think—and how to teach them—has definitely shaped the way I approach resource creation today.

Additional biographical information

I'm based in the Midlands and life is busy—in the best way—with three children, two grandchildren, and a very enthusiastic dog. I don’t have a lot of time for hobbies, but I do love a peaceful wander around a National Trust house (bonus points if there's a tea room at the end). When I’m creating resources, I tend to get completely drawn in—I like to keep going until it’s just right. Give me a quiet hour, a strong cup of tea, and something to design, and I’m happy.
