Why choose SnedEd2?

I graduated with a B.Sc. Hons in Mathematics and Statistics from Newcastle University, where I studied from 1993 to 1996. My journey in education began shortly after, starting teacher training at Prudhoe Community High School in Northumberland.

Upon completing my PGCSE year, I remained at Prudhoe Community High School, teaching students from key stage 3 through to Further Mathematics at A-Level. I then moved to the Royal Grammar School Newcastle in 2006, where I dedicated myself to teaching until the summer of 2024.

Over the years, I have become an expert at filling in the gaps that are inevitably left behind during standard teaching to a large group of students. I can quickly identify problem areas and draw on a vast set of resources that have proven to boost exam results well above expected value added.

It is the dynamics of the small groups and the one-to-one conversations which I enjoy the most. Explaining a concept in different ways to find the one that works for each individual, searching for the key to unlock understanding, that lightbulb moment when it all falls into place, and the realization that no two students have exactly the same problems, is what makes it exciting for both me and those I teach.

Throughout my career, I have developed a proven track record at both schools, consistently achieving well above expected value-added outcomes with students of all ages and abilities. My passion lies in bridging educational gaps and nurturing understanding through personalised teaching approaches.
