Qualifications- Qualified Reading Fairy Class Leader for over 4 years.
Qualified Teacher Status BA Hons (First Class) in Advanced Early Years Education. BTEC National Diploma in Early Years Education. NVQ Teaching Assistant Certificate.
Experience- As a teacher of eleven years in Reception, Year 1 and Year 3 teaching phonics and early reading skills has always been a strength and passion of mine.
I've been running Reading Fairy classes since September 2019 and I completely love my job. I fell in love with the WOW programme of classes after attending Baby Sensory with my daughter and couldn’t believe my luck when I heard about Reading Fairy and I knew straight away that this was the programme for me! Teaching phonics and early reading is both my strength and my passion and I am so excited to share this adventure with you and your little one. Watching the excitement on children's faces as they master new skills and watching your happiness that this bring is a real highlight of my job.
