About

Growing up, I always enjoyed my education, particularly maths and science - I love working to solve a problem and the reward and the sense of satisfaction it brings! At a young age, I also found a huge love for reading and was always found buried in a book, something which I still love to escape and do now. During my teenage years, my family moved abroad and I spent 3 years in Kentucky, USA in the American education system, before returning to the UK for university.

I studied a Masters Degree in Biology with Conservation and Biodiversity at The University of Sheffield, where I also spent time volunteering with environmental education organisations and working as a scientific research assistant. I then went on to complete my PGCE in Primary Education at Manchester Metropolitan University, graduating with distinction in 2011.  

Over the following 10 years, I taught at two different primary schools in Sheffield, across a range of year groups in Key Stage 2. I spent 4 of these years working in year 6 and also led the development of science across the school, as science subject leader. 

I founded NB Education in the summer of 2021 and tutor both online and face-to-face from my home, in Sheffield (S17) as well as working as a Primary Science Content Writer for a renowned educational resource company. 

I live with my husband, two children and friendly cat, Ruth, on the edge of the Peak District in Sheffield. I love getting outdoors in nature - exploring, walking and camping, reading and enjoying time with friends and family.
