Hi there! I am a friendly, passionate leader at a school in Bolton. I currently teach in Key Stage 1 - and I love it! Being a teacher is magical and no day is ever the same. The children in my class keep me laughing all day long. My favourite subject to teach is Maths. When I was at school, I found maths tricky. I worked very hard and succeeded!

Hi, I’m Mr. Thomas, a secondary maths teacher working in London. I am incredibly passionate (perhaps overly so!) about maths and teaching in general. My favourite part of my job is seeing how pupils flourish over time, particularly when they have ’lightbulb moments’. The ’aha!’ moment is brilliant, especially when it is a fiendishly difficult problem and it seemed unsolvable at first! In my spare time, I love playing tennis and the way angles work in action on the tennis court is exhilarating!

Hello Everyone! I’m an experienced Primary school teacher and school mathematics subject leader situated in Surrey. I absolutely love teaching in primary school education and seeing the lightbulb moments that children experience. Mathematics just gains the edge over history in terms of my favourite subject to teach. During maths lessons, I encourage the use of concrete resources and pictorial representations....bar models are a thing of absolute beauty! Away from the classroom, I am an avid lover of both cricket and hiking. Getting out in the great outdoors is almost as exhilarating as switching on the visualiser and drawing bar models!
