I’m a qualified teacher with experience in the primary sector, teaching children from the ages 4 to 11. I believe that all children (and adults) should have the opportunity to learn without limits or stress.I no longer teach in the state education system. Behaviour has always been a specialism and avid interest along with literacy and the raising of self esteem.After leaving teaching I set up www.thelearningvoyage.com to help children to become competent and independent learners. I offer help, tips and advice along with resources and products to encourage the best learning and teaching practices. I have combined my experience and skills as a teacher and mother of four sons to provide effective, holistic and fun learning ideas.I’ve always been a sufferer of social anxiety disorder but after some ‘life upsets’ this has been severely restricting my life. After learning about online marketing I created www.startyourbusinessonline.com. This website is to help those of us suffering from social anxiety to learn how to set up an online business and to start to live a rewarding and happy life.Other skills I have learnt over the years outside of education are:Owner/Business Manager (Art Studio)Owner/Business Manager (Tutoring Service)Owner/Business Manager (Local Network Marketing)Credit Union TreasurerToy Library ManagerParish Council SecretaryReflexologistPoetMother
