Born in London, but raised on the Wirral, "feerrrrryyyy cross the meerrrsseeyyy", and all that. My hobbies include collecting elements and watches, sometimes simultaneously, singing the periodic table song live on YouTube, all you oldies might remember that from your school days, and base jumping. However I never mix those hobbies as it is far too dangerous. My inspiration to become an educator came form Bill Nye! What a guy! A science guy! Man he knows how to blow stuff up.....in an educational manner. My favourite quote is 'teaching is a walk in the park, if that park is Jurassic park.
Student happiness to me are those moments when..... 1. a student discovers something. 2. a student asks a question that I never saw coming. 3. a student smiles when these realise how it works. 4. a student says thank you. 5. a student succeeds.
