Average Rating4.80
(based on 43 reviews)

The resources I produce are intended to be universal and sustainable and can be picked up by a teacher at any level of experience. Each lesson has been tweaked over years of experience teaching at a sixth form college. Students have enjoyed the lessons and achieved amazing results. All of my powerpoints have a colour scheme, bold imagery and the same font throughout - because style is important! I hope that these resources will save you time and make teaching more fun.
