I can hear you now: "More school? After school? No, please.'Let me explain why I know where you're coming from.It doesn't matter how old you get. The moment something difficult finally clicks, is one of the the most freeing feelings you will experience. It doesn't change whether you're a child or an adult, life still wants to teach us hard things and sometimes in the hardest ways. I also remember attending school and feeling like nothing clicks, I mustn't be smart enough. Confidence low, school just isn't something I'm good at it.

I have spent over 30 years teaching in secondary schools in various parts of the UK (in both the state and independent sectors) teaching both geography and geology to university entrance level. At my previous school our geology department was awarded the best school in the U.K. by the 'Good Schools Guide' for its 'A' Level results!

As a teacher, I prefer not lecture but encourage guided self-discovery with any student. My approach is more ‘the g...

I have 30 years experience as a maths teacher, with a First Class Honours degree, and believe that the best results are achieved through strong knowledge, and an approach to learning that values positive relationships and mutual respect.
