I have been a teacher of Spanish and French to A-Level, as well as more recently working across the range of subjects in the primary sector for nearly 15 years. After graduating from Exeter University I worked in finance and marketing before completing a PGCE in MFL. I am also an avid musician/songwriter, tennis and padel player, and a serious beach lover! With three children of my own a holistic education is very important to me, meaning that although the academic side is important, life education is equally so. As a former Form Tutor and Personal Tutor I pride myself on working closely with students to guide them in the right direction and be a listening ear in a time of need.

I am very much a people person and love to work with young people, sharing advice and skills with my students in an ever-changing world that can be very challenging to navigate.

Teaching Experience

I spent my first 5 years of teaching at Bryanston School which I thoroughly enjoyed, balancing teaching with pastoral duties in a boarding house and coaching sports. I then moved to Bournemouth Collegiate School where I was Head of Spanish until 2016. After a brief hiatus bringing up children I then taught at Bournemouth School for Girls until the arrival of more children and a dog meant I now work more flexibly educating and nurturing students online.
