Our "Why"
"To ensure that all students, regardless of ability or accessibility can achieve to their potential. Inclusive education when implemented effectively, will change the future for students as we know it.
I suffered immensely at school, and if I can improve the learning experience for as many students as I can, I'll die happy."
-Liam & Rozi
Advice to others:
"Whatever you do, do it with passion, love and the right message and the success will follow."

The "Why" behind this business...
Over the past 12+ years, while supporting learners across all primary year groups, I noticed that the public education system often failed to meet the diverse needs of many students for a variety of reasons.
After stepping away from teaching, I discovered that families were choosing to home-school their children in unprecedented numbers. Having previously home-schooled my youngest son for some of his high school years, I understood the challenges that come with balancing the roles of being both parent and teacher.
I knew I wanted to help students who were "falling through the cracks" in the mainstream system, and I was determined to find a way to work towards making a difference!
After a lot of brainstorming and sharing ideas (lots of them!) with friends and family, I'm excited to introduce The Touring Teacher!

Advice to others:
Always be true to your beliefs, morals, attitude - your full self. Anything less is inauthentic and is not sustainable but most importantly, it will cause you to burn out. Being truly yourself is the only way to live a peaceful life. As Dr Suess says, "Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You".

Our "why"
"After spending nearly a decade in the primary sector, University physics labs and tutoring across primary and secondary, it was obvious to us that kids are getting seriously left behind when it comes to creative STEAM learning. We had our son in 2023, and it was obvious to both of us that we wanted to create a life that was rooted in play, exploration, and deep learning, so in 2025, STEAMPlay was born!"

Advice to those getting started:
"For what it's worth... it's never too late, or in my case too early, to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit. Start whenever you want. You can change or stay the same. There are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you've never felt before. I hope you meet people who have a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of, and if you're not, I hope you have the courage to start over again." - F. Scott Fitzgerald
