This includes organising and managing eight series of Masterclasses for year five pupils in London. Additionally, lots of visits are made to groups running masterclasses around the country, and resources are created to help new and established groups. About Amy graduated from Edinburgh University with a degree in Physics in 2001, before studying for a PGCE in Cambridge. She spent over five years teaching at primary schools in Suffolk and Shropshire, before moving to London to join the Masterclass team. Scientific inspiration Probably my most significant inspiration in Science came from Mr Johnson, my Physics teacher through GCSEs and A Levels. His teaching showed me the importance of inspiring pupils in the classroom by sharing genuine enthusiasm for the subject. Favourite number When presenting a Masterclass, my favourite number is 24; with a class that size, groups of 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 12 are possible with no one left over! Best thing about the Ri Working at a relatively small organisation that does so many different things gives a unique opportunity to be involved in a diverse range of projects.
