About Tam
I’m a former teacher and Assistant Principal based in Sydney, Australia. After over a decade of teaching and leadership, I made the decision to leave the classroom in 2021 to focus on supporting teachers full-time.
As Mrs Learning Bee, I’m passionate about designing purposeful, research-based resources that help every student build strong foundations and achieve lasting success. I particularly love helping teachers to confidently implement the science of reading and other evidence-based literacy practices in their classroom.
Here at mrslearningbee.com, you’ll find more than just teaching resources—we also share quality lesson ideas, as well as tips for classroom management, social-emotional learning, and much more. My mission is to help students develop foundational skills, a lifelong love of learning, and resilient, kind hearts.
Hundreds of thousands of educators around the world have used Mrs Learning Bee resources, including my free digital handbook, Phonics & Beeyond, which has supported over 70,000 teachers in implementing evidence-based literacy practices.
But I want to do more than just create purposeful resources — more on that below!
