I joined Kingston University in October 2015 as a Senior Lecturer in Education (Primary). Currently, I am an Associate Professor in Education: Research and Learning and Teaching at the School of Education. Before I moved to Kingston, I worked at Plymouth University as a Lecturer in Education with a specialism in primary mathematics. Before that, I was a primary school teacher for more than 20 years in various primary schools in Greece and the UK.
My current role involves course leadership (Course Leader of the Doctor of Education Programme), module leadership, teaching, supervising undergraduate and postgraduate research projects and doctoral students (EdD and PhD), conducting research, leading research projects and research grant applications, and supporting the research activity within the School of Education and Faculty.
My research activity combines two complex areas: mathematics education and gifted education. It concerns issues regarding teaching and learning mathematics at higher cognitive levels for raising the achievement of all students, issues about nurturing mathematical promise, and issues regarding educating students with exceptional abilities and complex needs. My research in the area of gifted and mathematics education has been exploring school practice in primary schools since 2008. Recently, my research on gifted education has focused on twice-exceptional students and their educational needs.
