I am a primary school teacher with 20+ years of experience working in both state and independent schools. I have taught all year groups from nursery up to year 6. My niche is to make learning engaging by playing games, whether this is for Phonics in the foundation stage or learning MFL in Key Stage 2. If it is fun and meaningful then children are more interested and will persevere which makes learning better.
