I have been teaching functional skills since I first started my own adult education journey. I started by completing a Degree in Education and Professional Development with English Language and Literacy Specialism. I went on to achieve a BA (Hons) in Education and Professionalism, followed by a Masters Degree in Education.I have always specialised in working with adult learners with additional learning needs or those who just didn't "get it" at school. I apply all of this experience in my teaching methods to make learning as easy as possible and just that little bit more fun and empowering!! I decided to write my own books on English and maths as a result of trying to use other resources with my learners. However, as I work mostly with learners who have neurodiverse needs, such as autism, dyslexia or dyscalculia, I found some of the material to be too 'busy' or too small a text or just too complicated in terms of diagrams and lines. I also like to write fiction with my two eldest grandchildren and we have two books in the pipeline which are very 'mysterious' with lots of twists and turns!!Read more about this authorRead less about this author
