I’ve been a primary school teacher for 5 years and work as a private tutor for different ages. I enjoy creating new, engaging materials that encourage children to enjoy learning. The resources in my shop are mainly aimed at primary aged children. However, I’d like to start creating some resources for GCSE students, especially for modern foreign languages.
