About

I have taught Biology, Science and Maths to both junior and leaving certificate foundation, ordinary and higher level for many years. I have taught Maths to LCA 1 and LCA 2 students as well.
I have taught in many schools around the country including Dublin, Louth, Waterford and Meath. I am now a permanent teacher in Co. Kildare.

In my experience I have found that all a student who is having difficulty with a particular topic or subject needs is to hear it explained in a slightly different way. I like to keep things very simple and work to a student's strengths. I use my own condensed notes to focus on what is asked on the exam and teach how to answer the questions properly, in order to build up a student's confidence and exam techniques. The last thing any student needs is stress!

I graduated from Trinity College Dublin in 2005 with a 2:1 honours degree in Natural Sciences, specialising in Plant Biology and Ecology. I worked in research for many years before going into teaching in 2009. I taught for 3 years before returning to college in 2011 to undertake my Professional Diploma in Education from which I graduated with honours in 2012. I am now a fully qualified Biology, Science and Maths teacher.
