I'm a New Zealander with over 10 years experience teaching the IB Sports Science course.
I’ve enjoyed 20 years teaching within European International Schools, with roles ranging from Athletic Director, Senior Leadership, and IGCSE PE.
The area I am working to develop over the past few years is in the field of Psychology, hence, making PowerPoints and worksheets for the new IB Psych course.
I'm happy to develop new resources to all that may teach the new course. I hope you find it helpful.
