Independent Learners | Critical Thinkers | Fun and Future
TAYLORED SCIENCE gives children the opportunity to enrich their school-based learning through practical activities which complement the curriculum. Children love to take their ideas further and learn best when they ask and answer their own questions at a pace which is right for them. We support children as they develop critical thinking skills and drive their own learning forwards.

TAYLORED SCIENCE offers children the opportunity to enrich their school-based learning through practical activities which complement the curriculum, while they take a break from the adults in their lives.
After gaining a Degree in Geology from The University of Edinburgh and a Post-Graduate Primary School Teaching Qualification at Moray House, Edinburgh, I taught at an international school for two years, before returning to the UK permanently. I have worked as Head of Science, teaching across all classes from Year 1 to Year 6 since 2000 and have also held the post of Assistant Headteacher.
TAYLORED SCIENCE is rooted in the philosophy of Independent Learning. Our approach engages children's minds and supports them as they decide what they want to find out next and how they plan to investigate their ideas.
