Meet Our Tutors
Shaping Careers. Inspiring Communities.
Outside of teaching: I’m fascinated by languages, speaking Spanish and currently learning Portuguese! I also have a background in competitive MMA and Jujitsu.
Outside of teaching: You’ll usually find me outdoors, making art, or wrangling my four wonderful children in what I lovingly call the “beautiful chaos” of everyday life.
Outside of teaching: I’m still pretty active looking after my family with five children and twelve grandchildren!
Outside of teaching: I like to watch films on TV and I also like to play Golf but nothing like Tiger woods! Just a leisurely game I can play when I no longer work.
Outside of teaching: Own two gun dogs which need lots of exercise and attention. I love to bake and have been told that I make the best dark chocolate and raspberry brownies!
Outside of teaching: You might spot me hiking the countryside in a tiara, proving fitness can (and should) be joyful!
Outside of teaching: I enjoy running (after my children!!), travel, I am a real ‘foodie’, and I love a good, strong coffee – a coffee connoisseur!
Outside of teaching: I’m still involved in Rugby League (albeit now playing with the vets’ teams) but when I’m not on the pitch, you’ll most likely find me in the Lake District, hiking and enjoying the great outdoors.
Outside of teaching: I immerse myself in the creative and reflective pursuits that inspire my teaching. I love art, fashion, reading, and cinema
