• Welcome to It’s A Learning Curve!

As a teacher, it’s been a learning curve to move from the UK to the US.
Simultaneously, it’s been a learning curve to bring the findings of cognitive science/the science of learning into my classroom on a daily basis.

I have learned a lot. I can now look at the UK and the US education systems in terms of physics and cognitive science from the Mid-Atlantic, somewhere between Oxford and Tucson.

Here you’ll find
– for students … how to get help with learning physics and how to study successfully
– for teachers …help with teaching physics AND using cognitive science in the classroom
– for parents… help with helping your children to learn using cognitive science
– for everyone … the view from the Mid-Atlantic… blogs about the UK/US educational differences.

I am also offering:
– tutoring
– professional development in physics teaching and the cognitive science/science of learning for teachers and admin
– outreach.

I hope you find the site useful, and feel free to contact me.
