I have been a teacher for 18 years and I love it. I especially love teaching high school (secondary in the UK) students. I specialise in History with experience of English, Geography, Religious Studies and Humanities. I have been a Head of Dept, an advanced lead teacher in Humanities, focusing on helping teachers be the best they can be across the school, a deputy head in a SEMH school and good old classroom based history teacher.
