I am 32 and a qualified Primary School Teacher with a background in sport. I am enthusiastic, friendly and I have great interpersonal skills. Due to working in a variety of different settings with children over the years (including Australia and France) I am great at adapting to new environments and can problem solve very quickly. I have been told on several occasions by Head Teachers and other colleagues that I have a calm and nurturing manner with all children. I have a great passion for helping children develop academically by adapting work to their individual needs and really encouraging them every step of the way, building on their self-confidence. I also love to help children understand the importance of health and wellbeing; talking about healthy eating, exercise and habits, speaking about their own and others emotions, feelings etc. I believe this is also a very important part of a child's development.
