Hi! I enjoy designing curriculum for students who want to advance their grade or want to have clearer understanding of a particular topic. A qualified English and Social Science teacher, I have many years experience teaching across Australia and Asia. The rigours of teaching has meant less time for teachers preparing valuable lessons. Therefore, any aid to address this is welcome. The great feature of my material is that it has been test driven in the classroom.
