About Us

Elaine Chapman

Elaine Chapman completed her first degree through The Open University. Since that degree was predominantly Biology based she decided to complete a Masters in Learning and Teaching with a focus on Physics in order to teach Physics at A level. She first stared teaching in 2001 and was at Lutterworth College for 15 years. Elaine has taught a variety of courses which include GSCE (all 3 sciences), A level Physics, A level Science in Society and the Extended Project Qualification, again at A level. Elaine now works in an inner city school in Leicester.

Elaine's role as assistant subject leader in Science has also meant that she has been involved in promoting stem projects, taking students on educational visits (in the UK and abroad), and inviting guest speakers into the school to talk to students about careers in Science.

Elaine believes that teaching is a privileged profession and that what happens in the classroom is the most important thing to ensuring students learn and enjoy science.
