I grew up in Worcestershire and completed my secondary education at Alcester Grammar School in Warwickshire where I obtained A-Levels in Physics, Maths and Chemistry. From there I went on to study Physics at Cardiff University.

I completed my PGCE in Secondary Science, specialising in Physics and began teaching in 2005.

I was promoted to my first role as Head of Physics in 2006. In 2012 I returned to Alcester Grammar School, having enjoyed many happy years there as a student, where I was Head of Physics and Head of Science.

In 2023 following a family relocation I was appointed as Faculty Lead Science and Head of Physics at Roedean School in Brighton.

I specialise in delivering interactive, engaging sessions, designed to build confidence and long-term understanding, inspiring students to achieve their very best through meeting their individual needs within a trusting, supportive and nurturing environment. My ability to break complex ideas down into concise and accessible chunks and explain them to students in an engaging and relevant way means that my students are able to understand these key concepts quickly, which allows more time to practice their application and develop their understanding further.

As an examiner for GCSE and IGCSE Physics, I provide unique insight into exam technique and expectations, helping students perform at their very best.

With a reputation for my ability to engage and inspire whilst providing students with a dynamic environment where they feel understood, gain confidence, and experience genuine success, I combine curriculum mastery with proven exam strategies to deliver impactful tuition that drives long-term success. I am committed to delivering personalised support with a results-driven approach to help students succeed in both exams and their wider academic journey.

I have just left my role at Roedean School to allow me to be more present for my family.

With 20 years experience doing something I truly love, I have decided to leave the classroom to allow me to focus on my tutoring full time whilst having the luxury of being able to now schedule my work around my young daughter and devote more time to my family and enjoying the beautiful South Downs where we live.

In addition to my tutoring, I also work as an Educational Consultant for the Ogden Trust, supporting and delivering CPD to non specialists to develop their physics subject knowledge and confidence in delivering physics in the classroom, and mentoring early career physics teachers.

When I'm not tutoring you will most likely find me in the water, sea swimming or paddle boarding as often as possible.
