I am Socks, a secondary science teacher and zoology graduate in the East Midlands, splitting my time between the classroom, a small education charity, and a pair of binoculars.
A classroom, a charity, and one aim: make learning reachable.
An Early Career Teacher of Science, fresh from a PGCE in Secondary Sciences (Biology) at the University of Nottingham with QTS, passed with Distinction. Before that: a zoology degree and five years of tutoring and outreach.
Chief Operations Officer and Trustee of NSEMM, the student-led education charity I co-founded as a sixth former, running flexible-contribution tutoring, free exam-prep groups and open study resources.
A Youth Representative for the British Trust for Ornithology, running nature walks and youth events around the region, and an Earth Cubs Young Changemaker bringing climate stories into primary classrooms.
Nature photography is how the birdwatching gets recorded: reserve mornings, event days and the occasional very patient wait for something to land.

Awarded by the University of Nottingham School of Education for outstanding achievement in the theory and practice of teaching.
Running the Robin Hood Half Marathon for NSEMM
Every pound raised goes to NSEMM's Community Education Fund, making tutoring affordable for young people who would otherwise go without.
Always happy to hear from other teachers, conservationists, or anyone trying to make education and nature easier to reach.
