I have worked in education for 21 years and with CALAT for 14 of those. In that time I have never lost my passion for delivering adult education and seeing people achieve their goals, whether personal or professional.
Whilst I have been working as a maths tutor with CALAT since 2018 I spent the first 16 years of my working life at a FTSE100 insurance and investment company. During this time I became involved with pensions, annuities reinsurance, and a few other areas, before becoming a Solutions Strategist and Investment Product Specialist. Using maths on a daily basis, often explaining complex mathematical concepts to people with a less technical background, made a career change to a maths tutor a logical step for me.
I have always enjoyed and taken pride in sharing my passion for maths with people of all ages. This encouraged me to create my own YouTube channel at the start of the first COVID lockdown which you can explore by clicking on my name above. Initially this was to help my own small group of learners at CALAT but has now had over 90,000 views with my walkthroughs of practice exam papers particularly popular.
I teach English at Level 1 and 2 on the Fast Track Distance Learning course. I also work in the CALAT Apprenticeships Team on Business Administration and Customer Service apprenticeships, I have a degree in English and a Diploma in Education and Training.
I have worked with CALAT since June 2018 and really enjoy helping people to achieve their qualifications and their goals. It is great to work with such a variety of learners who are so motivated to learn.
When I actually get some spare time, I enjoy singing in a choir. But don’t worry, if you study with me, I won’t sing at you!
After graduating with a degree in Accounting and Finance from Greenwich University in 2003, I worked as a payroll officer in a warehouse distribution centre with over 1000 employees. This is where I gained the passion and experience in explaining Maths to adults with emotionally charged payroll queries.
In 2013, I moved on to complete my PGCCE - Diploma in teaching Mathematics and then, in 2015 I joined CALAT. I really enjoy working with adults achieving their goals and moving on with their lives with better hopes and prospects for the future. I taught different level over the years - distance learning, Functional Skills and GCSE Maths.
