I am currently the lead writer of course materials for the delivery of the Pearson Edexcel International GCSE Chemistry course at our school.I teach dynamic groups of enthusiastic and successful students A level and IGCSE Chemistry as well as delivering KS2/KS3 Science and STEM.

I write and perform original science songs for BrainySongs whenever I have spare time.Call it STEAM or just a holistic approach to learning, I am a firm believer that music is a marvellous way to reach and inspire students. It is a real joy to see children learning the lyrics to my songs, singing along to them, tapping their feet and learning about nature and science at the same time. Additionally, children acquire a rich vocabulary which helps them with language arts.
