About Me
I was born in Sussex and grew up Brighton and Hove. I moved to London in the mid 1990's for university at the height of Britipop and Cool Britannia.
​
London in the 90's was amazing but in spite of the many distractions I graduated King’s College, University with a degree in Chemistry.
For the next few years I worked for a science publishing company in Covent Garden in London, with trips to exotic places like India, Turkey and the United States.​
​
I've always loved travelling, and in 2003 I took a sabbatical from work to go backpacking around the world, visiting southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand.
​​
I've also always loved learning, so after my travels I decided to go back to university to study something completely, graduating from Bickbeck College in London with a foundation degree in Film and Journalism.
​​
This came in really useful as a few years later, after a year living in Sydney, I found myself working as a reporter for for a local newspaper in outback Queensland. I even met Crocodile Dundee...​​​
​
After a couple of years in Australia I returned England, eventually working for myself as private maths and science tutor. This led to me training as science teacher at the University of Brighton.​ I’ve worked for schools in Kent, Sussex, Abu Dhabi and Bahrain. I relaunched my tutoring business in autumn 2025.​​​​
​
I now live in Lewes in East Sussex, somewhere so old it had its own battle, one of Henry VIII’s wives owned a house here. And every 5th November it hosts the biggest and loudest bonfire night celebrations anywhere.
