About Me
Alongside tutoring full time - I also run a theatre and events company called Revels In Hand.

I am a professional chef and host supper clubs in my spare time; as well as being a keen singer and musician. I also volunteer for Give Us A Shout Crisis team. I love going on long walks and exploring what the world has to offer.

ensuring she is tailoring things specifically to our daughter’s learning needs’ (GCSE)
