As an experienced Geography teacher of 15 years with experience as an SQA marker, I have an excellent understanding of SQA standards to prepare pupils for exams (National 5 and Higher level Geography). I currently work in a high performing school in Scotland and have worked with pupils from a range of backgrounds and support needs throughout my career. I currently work full time teaching Geography to all year groups including S1-S3 BGE, National 4/5 and Higher Geography levels. I throughly enjoy working with pupils who are keen to learn.

I have led pupils on a variety of fieldwork expeditions and have successfully supported pupils through their National and Higher Assignments.

I hold an “outstanding” in “mentoring and coaching” (masters level) from the University of Aberdeen. I have drawn from this to support staff and pupils in various schools I have worked in. Instilling a growth mindset within pupils is key to my practice and is key in ensuring academic success for all of the students that I work with.

I have experience working in the third sector, drawing from the above skills to support educators in Uganda and Rwanda. I lived in Uganda and Rwanda for a month-long GLP project in 2023 supporting teachers and teacher-trainers with their practice.

I have an interest in mindfulness and counselling, and completed a 6 week course in mindfulness training. This has helped me better support pupil wellbeing whilst teaching. I also hold an SCQF level 5 in counselling. Thus enabling me to offer support to pupils in a more holistic sense, offering a caring approach whilst instilling a growth mindset and a “can-do” attitude.
