Course Curriculum
Tracey-Leigh Machher
Hello and welcome!
Thank you for taking the time to read my bio, I have been an educator for more than a decade and have written bible based curriculum for Preschool and Sunday School ages. Fun fact about me is - I was born in Zimbabwe, a country in Southern Africa, I emigrated to the United Kingdom in my early twenties so you may hear somewhat of an accent!
English Literature and Arts is my passion and I come from a family of readers and writers, my daughter published her first book at 10 years old! We love to read, but the book we love the most is the Bible and it is my joy to create classes for you on Teach Me Truth that incorporate Bible teachings. The aim of my household is to put God first in all things so I pray these classes will be a blessing to you!
With a rich tapestry of over a decade in education, including 6 years in online teaching, I bring a wealth of expertise in English Language Arts and Literature. A qualified English Language teacher with TEFL, armed with a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature, Diploma in Teaching Literacy and a Post Graduate Diploma in Humanities , I'm not just an educator; I'm also a perpetual learner and a Home Educating parent. From Kindergarten to Secondary school, in both traditional classrooms and club settings, I've shared my passion for learning with over 1600 students worldwide. Beyond the classroom, I host engaging escape rooms, baking and art classes because, after all, we all deserve a brain break! Join me on an exciting journey of faith, fun and education that keeps God at the centre.
