Learning Specialist

In my small home-based learning practice, I’m thrilled to offer a highly personalised, collaborative approach.

I believe you deserve a skilled, experienced teacher who cares deeply about your individual learning needs.

Teaching and facilitation is my passion and there’s nothing I enjoy more than connecting with you and inspiring your confidence and self-belief.

I know the possibilities for learning together are endless when we each feel respected and genuinely valued as unique individuals.

It’s my great privilege to support and nurture your limitless potential.

My career as an educator spans 40+ years in teaching, special education, university lecturing, workshop facilitation, corporate learning and development, consultancy, coaching and mentoring. That’s a long list but it’s been such a privilege to touch so many lives in this way. I love my work and I can’t imagine doing anything else.
