Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom
A dedicated educator with over 10 years of experience in teaching and lecturing, I specialise in the Advanced Skills Baccalaureate Wales, having previously taught Geography to KS3, GCSE, and A Level learners. My teaching style employs diverse methods to cater to all learners, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills. In leadership roles, I have managed both pastoral and academic teams, implementing targeted interventions to improve attainment levels. As a Leader of Learning and Head of Department, I promoted a positive work culture, emphasising teamwork and professional development. Currently serving as an Internal Moderator, I oversee assessment processes for the WJEC Advanced Skills Challenge Certificate and Advanced Skills Baccalaureate Wales. This role involves constructing teaching resources, delivering assessment training, and ensuring the overall enhancement of assessment procedures. My meticulous attention to assessment criteria was applied in my past role as an Examiner for the WJEC’s GCSE and A Level Geography specifications, and in my current role as Moderator for specialising in the Individual Project for the WJEC Level 3 Advanced Skills Baccalaureate Wales. In a previous role as an External Verifier, I supported newly qualified teachers (NQTs) during their induction year, ensuring high-quality teaching standards. I conducted assessments and provided constructive feedback to address areas of improvement. As a passionate leader and expedition facilitator, I provide transformative experiences for students through hands-on terrestrial and marine conservation projects. These expeditions, focused on environmental education, empower students with practical insights into conservation practices. By engaging with diverse ecosystems, students develop a deep appreciation for the environment and acquire valuable conservation skills. These experiences contribute to personal and academic growth while fostering a sense of environmental stewardship. Committed to global citizenship and environmental awareness, I continually seek opportunities to expand educational horizons.
