Leah is a dedicated educator with over 15 years of experience in the US, the UK, and Hong Kong. She began her career as a teacher of high school English and was soon drawn to engaging students who benefited from a more personally tailored approach to their learning. This interest led her to teaching in specialist schools where she eventually held senior leadership positions.

Leah has created unique and inclusive curriculum pathways for young people with complex learning styles and established a supported-employment programme for teenagers that focused intensely on increasing their confidence and independence. She has seen that all children can thrive when met with high standards presented in a supportive and empathetic way. By coordinating input from families, therapists, teachers, community liaisons, and 1:1 shadow staff, Leah ensures that children progress due to consistent and complementary support. As the Shadow Teacher Lead, Leah builds upon her experience in staff development and training, especially in assisting new and trainee teachers at the start of their careers.
