Hi – I've been involved in math and English for quite some time as I qualified as an Engineering Officer in the Merchant Navy. It was a great experience and I was lucky to get the opportunity to see different cultures around the world – from New Zealand to the Middle East. However, during the past few years, I have enjoyed running after school study centres.

I'm always interested in “practical math" and have developed a number of projects to encourage students including Maths Wrap, a YouTube channel (nearly 2 million views!) and creating the world's biggest number – here in Leeds.

Fully qualified math and English Instructor with over fourteen years experience. Tutoring to GCSE level including exam technique guidance, reasoning skills and interview coaching. I have worked with a number of adults and take pleasure in helping to achieve career goals.
