I have dedicated my entire professional life to making sure kids and their parents have the best support, understanding and tools required to blossom into achieving their full potential. It’s been a huge passion of mine for a long time and I have been privileged enough to work in education for over 20 years accross the whole of primary and secondary school age (early years to year 11). My extensive experience in the sector allows me to bring a level of professionalism and personalisation that you will not find with anyone else. I have years of learning how to adapt each assessment to each individuals unique style and personality.
