All about me!

I went to school in Edinburgh and then did an Education degree at Edinburgh University and Moray House College of Education.

I have taught all ages from 5 to 18+. I taught for four years in Edinburgh and Fife before moving to Surrey where I taught Maths for a number of years at Rodborough School in Milford. I then taught for sixteen years at Godalming College.

I now work as a freelance Maths Education Consultant. I have recently been appointed a Regional Subject Lead for post-16 Maths. I am also a Personal Leadership Tutor working with Fast track teachers in London. As well as these I have been doing some research for QCA, leading one-day training courses for teachers and working with the Standards Unit to develop a new approach to teaching post-16 Maths.

I have recently completed a M.Sc. in Computer Enhanced Mathematics Education at Napier University in Edinburgh. My dissertation was about the the factors which influence whether or not a student takes AS Maths. In September I plan to continue with this research.

I am Vice Chair of NANAMIC (The National Association for Numeracy and Mathematics in Colleges ). I am also the Joint Editor of the Mathematical Association website.

I am married to Iain and have two sons, Fraser and Moray. We enjoy travelling and visiting classical sites and if you would like to see more of our holiday photographs, you should visit Moray's site.
