Meet Zoë
Nearly 20 years of teaching experience. A passion for learning through play.
Hello! I'm Zoë, a primary school teacher and mum to a three-year-old.
After almost 20 years teaching across Yorkshire and Italy, I discovered Jump Start Maths while attending a class with my son. I loved how it brought together music, movement and meaningful early maths learning.
Now I'm bringing that same joyful experience to families, nurseries and preschools across Barnsley and beyond. I can't wait to meet you!

“Jump Start Maths has quickly become one of my child’s favourite classes. There’s just the right mix of structured activity and free play to help keep my little one focused and having fun. Each session has been really well thought out with a class guide for parents and it’s great to see my child talking about the concepts covered weeks later at home”
