Collaboration with educational organisations

Do you require a primary English specialist to share expertise?

In addition to the school-based services I offer, I also collaborate with educational organisations, multi-academy trusts and charities to create high-quality resources, article contributions and providing keynote speaking at conferences. With extensive experience in English education leadership, curriculum design and professional development, I provide expert insights and advice to teachers and leaders.

Expert contributions and collaborative partnerships

As a trustworthy figure in the English education sector, and with 18 years teaching and leadership experience, I work with organisations to provide practical insights to inspire the educational professionals who you engage with. I ensure every collaboration is informed by the latest policy updates, best practice in English education and tailored to the needs of teaching professionals.

Flexible and bespoke services

I provide flexible freelance services to organisations looking to enhance their educational content, resources and training approaches through education partnerships. My work includes designing tailored lesson plans and learning materials, contributing to educational publications and bespoke English consultancy. You can also build a tailored support package from my existing services.

I am always open to new collaborations with organisations that share a commitment to educational excellence, inclusivity and teacher development.
