About the store

Experience

I have taught in primary school for almost 40 years, most of it in Ireland, but ten of those years were in UK. I have taught mainstream classes and special education. My more recent experience has been in mainstream classes in upper primary school, among 8 to 12 year olds.

Teaching style

An early mentor once said to us: "Give of your very best to the children of the nation. That's patriotism." It's a saying that has inspired my best teaching.

My own education history

I have a B Ed, and my academic subject was Mathematics. I've received an Open University qualification in teaching Maths. I also had Drama as an elective,which inspired a lifelong love of teaching Drama. I have an MA in Children and Families.
