This month (September) marks the 35th year of my career as a teacher – 20 of which I have spent in London. This is a career established on a deep love of reading and a strong desire to inform and effect change in the lives of others.
There were always books in my environment and for me reading was second nature – a way of life. This is fundamental to who I am as a person and a teacher. I suppose the love of reading and learning led, consciously or not, to my becoming a teacher of English.
Teachers have always had an impact on me and I have tried to model aspects of my own teaching philosophy and practice on those teachers I had as a student – two secondary school teachers of English, a secondary school maths teacher, and a primary school deputy headteacher, all of whom hold very special places in my heart.
