About Me

I’ve worked in education for over 20 years – first as a teacher and Head of Department, then as a coach and mentor, and now as a Maths tutor who brings all of that experience together. I’ve taught in schools, led teams, coached students, trained teachers, supported athletes, and guided business professionals.

‘Each step has deepened my understanding of what it really takes to learn, grow, and succeed – not just academically, but personally.’

My Professional Background

Qualified UK teacher with over 10 years of classroom experience

Private Maths tutor with a love of clarity, creativity and connection

What I Believe

I believe Maths is something we can all engage with - and succeed in - when it’s taught with care, clarity, and flexibility.

I know that no two students are the same, and I don’t use a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether your child needs firm foundations, encouragement, structure, or stretch - I adapt to meet them where they are.

Above all, I aim to build a relationship that feels safe, focused, and quietly inspiring.

Beyond Tutoring

I also run a creative project called The Hidden World of Maths - a joyful exploration of how Maths shows up in nature, music, sport, and the patterns of life.

It’s not just about getting a grade - it’s about rediscovering the wonder of learning.

A Note To You

“If you’re a parent, I understand how much you want your child to feel calm, capable, and supported.

If you’re a student, I understand what it’s like to feel stuck – and I know what it takes to move forward.

Wherever you are in the journey, I’m here to help.”
