About Me

I am a passionate, diligent, and globally aware educator, trainer, and resource developer, with over 10 years of continuous work experience across a range of interrelated sectors.

My teaching methodology is that I approach each lesson differently depending on the needs and aims of the student. Should you, or your child wish to pass A-Level/IB Economics, learn Business English, improve your general English or IELTS score, or pass Key Stage 2 Maths, I am available for you.

Outside of teaching I am a consultant for small organisations seeking to reach wider audiences. I play football and like to learn new languages.
