1. Best thing about teaching? 

There’s so many great things about teaching, where do I begin? The best thing though has to be seeing children in my class smiling, engaged and loving learning. That moment when a learning concept just clicks with a child and they get it. 
 

2. Best city you've ever visited/lived in? 

London is everything to me. It’s home and the best city that I’ve ever lived in. 
 

3. A song you listen to when happy/sad? 

When I’m happy you can catch me listening to ‘Music Sounds Better With You’ by Stardust. When I’m sad I’ll probably be crying along to ‘Hurt’ by Christina Aguilera. 

​

4. Biggest education inspiration? 

So many! Growing up I was inspired by so many amazing teachers. Since watching and reading Freedom Writers, I was greatly inspired by Erin Grunwell and her passion for teaching.

10. Dream guest on your TTR show?

Stormzy! If I could get Stormzy to come on my show and speak about his education experiences and his university scholarships, I’d be a very happy woman.
