An experienced teacher and senior leader within education, currently responsible for teaching and learning at a top UK school.

Despite some successes as a student myself years ago, what I really enjoy is helping others to learn. I like to think that I've played some small role in the top exam results that many of my students have gone on to achieve over the years, and I was flattered to win a national teaching competition several years ago.

I'm also very interested in memory skills and used to try to impress dates with my ability to memorize the order of a shuffled deck of cards (yes, my dating skills still need a lot of work).
