I am a creative and passionate educator with a long timeline of helping students gain not only top results but confidence and a love of learning.  

 

I have been facilitating learning in young people for more than 15 years. Over this time, I have been fortunate to work with huge range of ages (from 6 to 19 years old), abilities and challenges. I treat each student as an individual and focus on building the self-assurance that comes from positive experience.

We’re lucky to have Jez (aka Gerald Williams) on the Better Ed Space team. With a wide range of skills and a genuine love of learning, Jez brings incredible energy and inspiration to everything he does.

 

Jez is one of our Teen Setting facilitators, leading the Wednesday Culture & Communication session, with a talented for filmmaking. On Fridays, he also runs our Fine Art programme—sharing his creativity and insight with students across disciplines.

​

We love his simple yet effective CV and experience explainer.

I have been passionate about the arts all my life and launched my career as an artist in 2009.  In 2015 I studied "Therapeutic Arts" at Tobias School of Art and Therapy, where I was introduced to the Steiner way of life.  

 

The transpersonal arts course was life changing in becoming a more integrated and creative individual.  At the time I was also working in a special education school called "St Joseph's" as a Teaching Assistant.  I learned about complex special needs and how to communicate with people whose brains have a wide variety of differences to the average person.  

 

Finding that I enjoyed working with children, I then moved onto mainstream schools where I worked until February 2025.  My aim is to make lessons fun and engaging for children, whether that's using sensory crafts or learning how to draw.  I look forward to learning and growing with the Peredur community
