I am a qualified QTS Science Teacher and Author of “The Exam Slayer – How to smash your exams without giving up your screen time!”  I have been a Science teacher for about 15 years and being in a classroom environment was very challenging for me as I am on the autistic spectrum and have ADHD.

I started private tutoring when I was a teacher and absolutely loved it so I gave up classroom teaching for 1:1 tutoring –  I now have over 15000 hours of 1:1 tutoring under my belt and am fully booked 7 days a week without any advertising.  

As well as teaching science I predominately coach my students in mindset, exam techniques, revision skills and learning methods which seem to be missed out at school.  All of my students not only get the grades in science but the skills that I help them with work across all subjects and stay with them for life.     My vision is to help thousands of students achieve their targets by learning some simple skills which help to change what they are doing and get the desired outcome which is why I wrote the book and will expand to courses, study aids and more books in the future.
