Kara graduated from Imperial College having obtained a MSci in Physics. She embarked on 18 months of travel before being employed on a graduate scheme learning computer programming. After four years in this career Kara had the opportunity to move to Chicago, USA, where she had a few temporary jobs before settling to work for an organisation that promoted health and fitness for girls. This sparked a passion for working with young people and on returning to the UK in 2010 Kara started working as a teaching assistant before deciding to train to teach mathematics.
Kara trained as a maths teacher in 2011 through the Graduate Teaching Programme at Landau Forte College and the University of Nottingham. She has since taught mathematics at KS3, GCSE and A Level. She is currently an examiner for Pearson for A level mathematics, providing a unique insight into exam techniques and common errors.
Kara has been teaching an A-level class since 2017, both in person and on-line. She has also worked online with students living in Spain and Singapore.
Kara believes everyone can succeed at mathematics and works to break down the stigma surrounding maths by making lessons enjoyable and accessible to all.
