Experienced Science teacher and personal tutor - Maths tutor with Frances

Frances was a key member of our Science Department for 2 years. Her excellent subject knowledge combined with her warm, friendly nature led to excellent results for her students.

Frances was a valued and dedicated member of the team during her time here. She taught across the sciences up to and including GCSE with students of target grades of A*-C. During her time with us she proved to be a very good teacher who was comfortable working with groups of all abilities. Her individual work was outstanding.

During her time at Thornaby Academy, Frances was an engaging and passionate teacher of science. Not only is her subject knowledge extensive, she is also a natural teacher whose enthusiasm and innovative style meant her students understood the subject with increased energy and enjoyment. These qualities allowed Frances to engage the attention and progress of her classes. However, where she truly excelled was catering for the individual needs of her students. She would consistently go out of her way to provide one-on-one support to students who needed extra help. All of her students valued her support and commitment to their learning, along with her warm and welcoming persona.
