About Me
I am married and have four adult children – one of whom is disabled.
I have been a deputy head teacher, and am currently also a team leader at the OCR exam board. I have previously been the head of professional studies at OCR.I have taught in both the estate and private sectors in the UK. I have taught several subjects in my time as a teacher.- I started teaching mathematics and physics in a state comprehensive school after graduating from Aston University with a BSc (1st Class Hons) in Mathematics and Physics and gained qualified teacher status with a Diploma In Mathematics Teaching.
I took a distance learning course with the Open University and graduated with a BA (Hons) on computing and electronics. I then became a Head of Microelectronics at a private school and followed this as a Director of Computing and Senior Teacher at another private school.
When my disabled daughter was born it became a life changer. I retrained to become a Chartered Accountant and also graduated with an Oxford Brookes University degree in Accountancy and a London university Masters degree in Financial management. The same year I also became a Chartered Mathematician. I worked from home as an accountant and also taught Accountancy on-line for a large
London company where I was the lead tutor on taxation. .
I live in Cornwall UK and enjoy all outdoor activities.
My teaching style
I prefer 1:1 where I can engage with a student. My style is to understand the students needs and plan before we start. I can then create goals with the student and their family.
I treat every student as an individual.
My past experience
I was a teacher for 35 years and have taught on-line
