Teaching has always been my dream job but I ended up pursuing a career in sales initially before working in the care sector and childcare. It was during my work with a care agency that I found myself working as a teaching assistant in a special educational school. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there and this prompted me to undertake teacher training, qualifying as a primary school teacher in 2011. After having my youngest daughter, I decided to pursue the online teaching world, complimented by some private tuition in person. I am very passionate about English, and education in general, and feel privileged to be able to share my love of learning with students.

KS3 Maths
As a Science teacher I have taught in a range of secondary and grammar schools in the UK for nearly 12 years. Although I’m a Chemistry specialist, having completed a degree in Chemistry and worked as an Analytical Chemist in industry prior to teaching, I have also taught Physics and Biology throughout my teaching career. I love Science. I feel it’s important to understand how the physical world around us works. It’s a subject which lends itself to every aspect of life!
When I’m not teaching I love to spend time walking my dogs, riding my motorbikes and working on my house. I’m busy learning new building skills whilst renovating a 400 year old farm house. Not something I ever envisaged myself doing. It just goes to show, you never stop learning!

Nektaria Papanicola
IGCSE English Language and Literature
Growing up in Toronto, Canada, as the eldest of five in a high-spirited and loving Greek-immigrant family, I was encouraged to strive for personal and academic excellence. My passionate love-affair with literature, my curiosity and love of discussion led me to a teaching career which has spanned over two decades in three different countries. My varied experience in UK secondary schools and as an examiner has allowed me to adapt my lessons to best fit the needs of my students and to challenge them to improve beyond their expectations. My lessons are characterised by a focused and rigorous approach as well as humour, a caring attitude and lots of encouragement!

Lauren Evans
A Level Chemistry
I love discovering the elements and compounds which surround us in our daily lives. Cooking is chemistry. Everything you can touch or taste, or smell is a chemical. Chemistry explains why detergent works better in hot water.
I have a BSc in Biochemistry and Molecular Cell Biology and an MSc in Sustainability. I have been a teacher of science and chemistry since 2011 and have been privileged to teach in schools around the world – including Australia, Japan, Nigeria and St Helena. It’s incredible how online schooling allows me to continue to connect with students in the UK and abroad to deepen their understanding of the world around us.

KS3 and IGCSE English
I began my teaching career at the age of six when I would arrange my teddies and dolls on my bed and take the register. My lessons back then were short on content but high on enthusiasm. The toys didn’t seem to mind.
Nowadays, I aim to make my lessons as exciting and interactive as possible. I love working with diverse students and showing them the tools they need to be effective learners. I feel privileged to pass on my passion for literature and the English language, which makes my job incredibly rewarding.

Gaynor Sward
KS3 Maths/KS3, IGCSE and A Level Computer Science
At heart, I love solving problems – puzzles, maths riddles. Science conundrums and computer mysteries. It has led me through a journey of studying maths, systems integration, programming an industrial robot arm and moving to Canada. I worked in the software industry building touchscreen terminals, web development tools and led teams in tech startups. After deciding to home-educate my sons, I taught first-year Computer Science courses at the local university and discovered the pleasure of teaching others.
My goal when teaching is to help students become creative, determined problem-solvers. They will use the computer as a tool to further their interests and passions.

Dave Horton
KS3 Science/Maths and IGCSE Chemistry/Physics
Online teaching has been a passion of mine ever since my children were educated in an internet school. I love that it is an environment where young people can utilise the advantages of modern technology, learn in a hugely encouraging setting and have their individual needs catered for.
In the future, I firmly believe that many more lucky children will have the opportunity to learn in this exciting and enjoyable new way.

Bridgette Barrett
KS3/IGCSE Geography
Geography, at its best, should give students an insight into the world we live in and the complex factors at play in the physical and human environments.
Physical geography and fieldwork are my particular passions. I hope that I can pass on this love of the subject through my teaching.

KS3, IGCSE and A Level English
The excitement of helping someone improve their ability to communicate in a language never leaves me.
As a child, I read everything and anything available, and this love of reading encouraged me to study English – I hope to pass on my enthusiasm for the subject to everyone who looks with me.
English allows you access into the lives and minds of others, lets you travel the world and learn from some of the most interesting people in history without ever having to step outside your front door!

Fran Wilson
KS3/IGCSE/ A Level Maths
Throughout my career, I have had a passion for understanding how you learn.
Since being a student myself, I have realised that every person sees things differently and can understand the most complex idea if it is made clear to them in the way they know.
It’s always been important to me that students are comfortable and confident when in maths. Learning should be stimulating, challenging, but enjoyable.
The sense of achievement when understanding how to do something, why it works and how it can help you is a powerful feeling and one that I aim for all my students to experience.

Kelly Roscoe
KS3/IGCSE History
My passion for all things old began when I first visited Styal Mill in Cheshire with my primary school. I loved sitting in the schoolroom of the Apprentice House, imagining what the atmosphere would have been like in the Victorian era.
I enjoy visiting historical places to feel more connected to those that have lived a life before us.
I hope to pass on my passion and enjoyment of History through some fun, interactive lessons – be prepared!

Chloe Bullock
IGCSE/KS3 Spanish & French and Pastoral Tutor
I have always been fascinated by language and culture, and my early ambitions to travel and work abroad led me to study for a degree in Spanish and French.
My education and career have allowed me to travel extensively through Spain and South America.
My Spanish skills have been tested by the language’s vast and varied accents and nuances to be found in the different countries.
I am very excited to be bringing my passion for languages to Net School.

As an English teacher, I’m sure that it comes as no surprise that I love reading.
My favourite book is Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights. I first read it at the age of 17, when studying A Level English Literature. I highly recommend it!
I am very structured in my approach to teaching, but I always like to add an element of fun to bring the topics to life.
I create a relaxed online classroom environment so that all my students can confidently ask questions and become active learners.

Dr Ellie Nalson
Head of Maths & Science and Sixth Form Coordinator
Teaching is one of the most rewarding jobs you can do, and I enjoy introducing others to the subjects I love.
Science and Maths have fascinated me ever since I was young.
I am especially interested in our Universe, how it began and why it now looks like it does.
Scientists try to answer questions like: How can we feed everyone in the world?
How can we develop renewable energy resources?
How can we hope to cure cancer?
If these sorts of questions interest you, then you are a scientist in the making!

Sue Henton
KS3/IGCSE Latin
The Romans have left us a fantastic heritage. Their empire covered most of the known world, and the remains of their building works can be seen everywhere. Their literature has inspired countless writers and artists.
Latin is an intrinsic part of so many facets of English and European societies and plays an invaluable role in understanding our language and culture.
I look forward to explaining all of this to you, as well as teaching you the language itself!

I was lucky enough to have inspiring teachers when I was at school, and this meant that I was enthusiastic about my learning, and I thoroughly enjoyed my education.
I was a Primary School Teacher for eight years and loved the rewarding job of encouraging, inspiring and motivating students to enjoy their learning and success.
I am now delighted to guide and support our Net School community in my role as School Administrator.

Susan Reed
Director
I am a History teacher by training and taught in state and independent schools before becoming an online teacher in 2009. Having launched Net School in 2013, I’ve since taken my work and my love of history with me as I’ve moved around the world with my family to France, Poland and Canada.
I am now back in the UK and hope to welcome you to Net School very soon!
