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 have been internationally recognised in the field of Autism and ADHD, by the NHS, IJAP, and multiple universities. Nicknamed "The Chinchilla Guy", because Shadow the chinchilla (Left) is the real brains behind the operation!
​​
Despite my research, my core work remains 1:1 tutoring in STEM. I tutor online using interactive software that allows students and I to 'tackle' the topic together, rather than a 'I say , you do' approach.
