“I have always had a keen interest in working in education, and I believe that Explore Learning provides the ideal environment to encourage children to be enthusiastic about learning. Being able to work individually with children in a fun atmosphere means that I can not only help them improve academically, but also help them improve their overall confidence and social skills.”

Jo graduated from The University of York with a 2:1 degree in English Literature and Philosophy.

Prior to joining Explore Learning, Jo worked as a Learning Support Assistant at a secondary school where she worked with 11-16 year olds of varying abilities. This enabled her to develop the ability to tailor her approach to each individual student’s needs.

I love working alongside the children and getting to know them so that I can ensure they are working at their best and enjoying themselves.  I feel that the diversity of resources available, in addition to the vibrant ambience, allows children to thrive in a fun and engaging atmosphere.”

"When I saw an opportunity at Explore Learning I jumped at the chance to bring my enthusiasm in encouraging and exciting children to learn to the role. I am very excited to join the Explore team and to meet such a variety of staff, parents and children."
