Teaching isn’t just about subject knowledge it’s about building positive relationships too. I believe through being personable, enquiring and approachable I earn students trust. Through having this trust I’m able to push them and demand the best from them. I myself have never settled for second best and therefore don’t expect students to.

Whatever their targets and aspirations, I see it as my job to help young people realise them. All I ask is they show a willingness to learn by accepting the feedback and challenges I pose.
