Anyone interested in me popping into their school to lead some exciting maths/stats pd at the end of term. Could be subject knowledge or wider pedagogy. Got loads of experience, insights and knowledge - happy to travel - reasonable rates! You won’t be disappointed! #mathscpd #alevelmaths

Please pass this on to anyone you know. It’s rare to get this kind of PhD funding these days and it’s such an important topic!
