I am currently a vice principal in an international school in Portugal, continuing to teach Geigraohy up to A Level. I was most recently the Lead Geography consultant for the Harris Federation of Schools Head office (32 schools across London) specialising in preparing students for GCSE and A Level examinations in Geography. I was the Deputy Headteacher at St Anthony's Boys Prep School in Hampstead and am also offering bespoke common entrance exam training. I have a history of assisting pupils into the top private schools in the country including Harrow, City of London, Eton and Westminster Boys, the exams for which I am well versed in over 13 years of tuition. I also have a history as an experienced Head of Geography in successful (98% A*-C) London schools with with the added experience of having taught English as a foreign language, whilst teaching abroad in Portugal. I am patient, approachable and understand the needs, aspirations and anxieties of young people.
