I am Tamara W Phillip, the creator and author behind this blog. As an educator with over 25 years of experience in our beautiful country, my journey in teaching began right after A’ Levels and has taken me through a rich tapestry of classrooms, learners, and lessons.

This space was born out of that reflection, a desire to build a community where educators can share their thoughts, stories, and experiences, supporting and empowering one another as we continue to grow together.
