Brief Statement & Additional Information:

Being a teacher for over 30 years in various roles, I've been lucky enough to have taught and lived in Queensland, Kuwait, The Phillipines and Malaysia. This has encompassed the Australian, British and American curricula.

Along the way, I've been fortunate to have had wonderfully supportive colleagues and excellent professional development opportunities, gaining my Masters of Arts TESOL as well as with vast experiences and resources.

My husband, Shane Clark, is a Learning Support /Special Education specialist of some 35 years experience. He is also qualified as an Educational Psychologist and has his M.A. TESOL. 

On this flatform, I'd like to share some of our own resources developed while actively teaching and holding leadership positions, so we know they are appropriate and will hopefully save you a lot of time. 

Teaching can be an enjoyable and very rewarding career. Wishing you all a great year!
