Having had over ten years experience in education, and being disappointed by the limitations that both specialist and mainstream schools place on students with Neurodivergence. As such, I have branched out to support those 'outside' the system. I am an internationally recognised expert on Autism and ADHD, by the NHS, IJAP, and multiple universities, nicknamed "The AuDHistic* Chinchilla Guy".
​
Despite my seminar work, my core work remains 1:1 tutoring at secondary, A-Level, and University level. I tutor online using interactive software that allows students and I to 'tackle' the topic together, rather than a 'I say , you do' approach.
*AuDHistic ~ A term I coined as an identity-first term for being diagnosed with duel Autism and ADHD.
