I am currently employed as a Senior Manager at a secondary school near Oxford. I begin each lesson by testing a learner`s knowledge and then I devise a response that will plug any gaps in their scientific skills and understanding.

Beyond work, my interests include natural history, local history and writing. Recently, I have had nine books published and I was awarded Chartered Fellowship of the Royal Society of Biology (CBiol, FRSB). In addition, I am also a Fellow of the College of Teachers (FCollT)and a European Professional Biologist (EurProBiol).

Experience: Between 1995 and 1998, I worked as Lecturer-in-Charge of `A` Level Biology and `A` Level Environmental Science at the Royal Forest of Dean College in Gloucestershire. During that same period, I was employed as a Marker for `A` Level Biology by the Associated Examining Board (AEB).

Between 1998 and 2000, I worked as a Housemaster at Bethany School in Kent where I shared pastoral responsibility for forty boys aged between 11 and 18 years. I also taught `A` Level Biology and both the Physics and Chemistry components of G.C.S.E. Double Award Science.

In 2000, I left England to take-up a position at the British School in the Netherlands. For the next three years, I taught `A` Level Biology and G.C.S.E. Physics (Higher Tier).

Between 2003 and 2012, I was employed by the Department for Education and seconded by them to work at the European School of Karlsruhe in Germany. I was appointed as the Head of Biology across the five language sections at the school in 2007.

Since 2012, I have been a full-time employee at a school near Abingdon in Oxfordshire. In 2018, I was promoted to the position of Director of Teaching and Learning.
