Sarah Cooper - Educational Consultant
Having spent ten years working in advertising, banking and IT, here in the UK, Australia, Hong Kong, Taiwan and the USA, Sarah gained her PGCE (Postgraduate Certificate in Education) in 2000 and is now in her eleventh year teaching. Teaching children from the ages of 2 to 11, her subject specialism is English, and she also loves enthusing children with a passion for music, having taught piano for many years. Sarah took two years out in 2003 to work voluntarily with refugee children in four inner city schools, teaching English and running recorder and afterschool clubs for them. As the Educational Consultant on Nurse Diddy, Sarah believes the warm characters and entertaining episodes will appeal directly to children from a very young age, and give them the knowledge and reassurance to cope with being unwell.
