I am also available for short-term home schooling for students visiting Hong Kong or who are awaiting a school place.
 For advanced students, I have been successful in providing a more analytical approach to learning, with more emphasis on problem solving and individual thinking than traditional rote learning.
Personal History
| I was born in Reading, England. My parents were both English teachers so, while I ultimately chose to pursue mathematics and sciences in my later school years, and engineering at university, I have a background that includes a thorough education in English and languages. | On graduating from university, I worked for 7 years as a civil engineer before taking some time to travel the world. During these travels, I settled in Hong Kong, working as a private tutor. I left to travel further and spent two years on the West coast of Canada, moving back to Hong Kong in the summer of 2003. |
