It is a beautiful and complex subject that underpins our natural world and I\u2019m excited to share that with students at all levels. Professionally, I am strongly engaged with educational theory and use the latest research to inform how my teaching practice evolves to give students the best experience possible. I think that developing students\u2019 Mathematical confidence is crucial to enabling them to enjoy and achieve in the subject, this is something I promote by using a range of activities in lessons.

His experience and commitment saw him play a significant part in developing a school in the UK to be the second most improved school nationally. \u201cThe impact we had on those students\u2019 lives is my proudest episode working in education. I was very fortunate to work with a great team and we all pulled together to improve things for the students. Teaching is a very rewarding profession but the work we did in that school really stood out as it made a huge difference to the entire community.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having lived in Thailand for four years already, Mr Woolaston is very settled and happy in the country and is incredibly excited about his future at DBS. \u201cThe students\u2019 energy and enthusiasm has really been evident in my first few weeks. There are some very talented students here and I am looking forward to working with them this year and beyond.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- GOODLAYERS_CONTENT_END --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mr Ryan Woolaston is an upper school Mathematics teacher specialising in A-Level Mathematics and A-Level Further Mathematics.
