Family Education Coaching
About Me
Life is a journey of relationships. Your child’s relationships begin at home with your family and it continues into their friends, teachers and staff at school.
​
Positive relationships are the cornerstone that underpins our quality of life and inviting someone in to share this is a very personal thing. So here‘s a little about myself…

The Professional Side
I have spent the last 15 years teaching in a variety of primary schools. My career has been spread across Key Stages 1 and 2 (5-11 year olds) and has given me a deep, understanding of how children learn and develop their reading, writing and maths. I have subject leadership experience across different subjects, including maths, and have been lucky enough to work in some amazing teams.
​
I have developed positive classroom environments that focus on relationships, which in turn improve learning behaviour for improved academic, social and emotional outcomes.
​
I have recently taken the decision to leave classroom education in order to find a better work-life balance, one that allows me to give more to what matters most to me, my family. However, I remain passionate about learning and helping others to develop what matters most to them, their family.
The Personal Side
I am a firm believer that we should never set a ceiling on what a child can achieve. My philosophy on education is shaped as much by my life outside the classroom as my fifteen years within it. As a family man, I believe that strong values and a supportive home are the true path for a child’s success. Although a lot of our child’s development is under the control and influence of others, school being a huge part of this educationally, many studies indicate that the home influence wins hands down in every case – the influence of parents far outweighs everything else. This is why I have started Family Education Coaching – to empower you!
​
My personal life is defined by a love for challenge and a curiosity about the world and the people within it. Many of my challenges incorporate my love for the outdoors. There are so many positive mental and physical benefits, and it’s great family time together! I am proud of my achievements and fully understand that grit and resilience are attributes we must help children develop. This fosters the pride and success we feel.Â
​
Success is a personal thing and means different things to different people. Whatever it means to you and your family, I hope to unpick this and work alongside you for the benefit of your child’s future, and yours. Success also has different time scales but within Family Education Coaching, I aim to develop the self-belief and confidence they need for the long haul. I don’t believe in quick fixes; I believe in sustainable growth.
​
I understand the pressures of modern parenting because I’m living them too. I know that when we nurture a child’s natural curiosity and confidence alongside their academics, we aren’t just helping them pass a test—we are opening doors to a lifetime of opportunity.
