British/South African. Citizen. Returned to Uk after extensive teaching experience in South Africa. I am passionate about encouraging young people to become excited about the sciences, and I enjoy finding new ways to make more difficult concepts clear, using constructivist principles. I enjoy the challenge of the digital age and embrace the technology available to use in education, especially iPads, iTunesU and Smart boards.
I have taught from Grade 7 (Year 8) to A level, and have worked in INSET, as well as lecturing teachers doing a re-skilling degree. My nearly 40 years experience covers Natural science, pure Biology and Physical science (covering both Physics and Chemistry) . For the past 17 years I have taught at a private school under the Independent Examining Board (IEB) in South Africa, and my pupils have performed at a high level in the external exams, going on to excel in the fields of Medicine , Engineering etc. I was appointed as a marker of the external exams for both Physics (9 years) and Chemistry (3 years) under the IEB, having been a Biology marker and Senior Biology marker for the National Education department.
B.Sc (Rhodes University), Higher Education Diploma (teaching) (UNISA), B.Ed (Rhodes University) and Masters Degree in Science Education (Nelson Mandela University).
Further studies in Physics and Chemistry for secondary school teaching, and Environmental education.
