“As an Early Years specialist with 30 years of teaching experience in EYFS and KS 1, I have always had a special interest in reading development and the processes involved in learning to read. I have enjoyed being a part of my students’ reading journey throughout my teaching career and with a background in Special Education and Inclusion, I have also supported many students who have struggled with reading to overcome their difficulties and to become confident readers and writers. I believe that an early, fun introduction to Phonics will help children to develop confidence and awareness of letters that will ease their transition into learning at school.

I am really looking forward to running Phonics Bear classes in my area and seeing the children grow in confidence as they learn about letters and their sounds, building a firm foundation for the love of learning and reading.

I enjoy scuba diving and am a keen underwater photographer. I enjoy painting rocks and looking for rocks that have been painted by other wonderful rock painters while out for walks in the country parks near my home.”
