My teaching philosophy is to `aim high`. there`s nothing more demotivating than performing repetitive tasks with an unclear outcome: I connect topics to work the student has done before and I show where this work leads us. If time allows I will also demonstrate ideas from higher levels to show where the knowledge the student is building can lead. I also try to connect ideas to real-life experience.

Language and communication is an important part of mathematics at all levels, and it is important the student can interpret ideas and explain conclusions, this is a good barometer of the student`s own understanding. Exam technique is also important, ultimately the student needs to be able to get through the examinations. I am able to coach on exam technique and in particular problem-solving techniques and time management.

I’m a Chartered Accountant of almost twenty five years standing, I’ve worked for myself since 2000 and have experience in advising and working with many different types of business. As a manager, training and motivation is an important function of my role, to this end I am both passionate and knowledgeable about the skills I teach.

I have a university degree and hold two professional qualifications equivalent to taught Masters. In my spare time, I play guitar and like to run and cycle to keep fit. I am an LGBT activist (being transsexual) and I have appeared on television and written for the national press.

I have an Enhanced DBS Certificate with no endorsements.

In my spare time I am a musician, long-distance runner and. being transseaxual, an LGBT rights activist.
