Current position
Writer and part-time SEP Professional Development Lead.

Career
After university I taught science in Ethiopia with VSO, before returning to train at Chelsea College. I’ve taught in three Suffolk schools, lately as Head of Science at Sir John Leman High School in Beccles, which I left over three years ago to concentrate on writing. At present I am working on developing on-line A-level Physics resources for a major publisher, and devising and delivering professional development for the Science Enhancement Programme. 2009 will be my fourth year of helping present the IOP Advancing Physics Revision Days.

Aim/Mission
Supporting, encouraging and enthusing the next generation of physics teachers. I like the word ‘Wow’! It epitomises good physics teaching.
