FOUNDERS' MESSAGE
As parents ourselves we appreciate the many anxieties, concerns and pressures which parenting brings. We understand the worry which accompanies this most important job of all. Our children’s education is, naturally, only one area we as parents consider when helping our children navigate these formative years of their lives; however, it is certainly one of the most crucial. So, thank you for exploring our site and, we hope, putting your faith in us to help your child thrive.

I am thrilled to be part of your child's educational journey. With over two decades of experience as a primary school teacher, teaching has always been more than a profession for me; it's my passion and calling.
Throughout my career, I have held various leadership roles, including Senior Leader and Head of Key Stage 2. These positions have provided me with significant experience in curriculum development, student assessment, and individualised instruction. In 2023, I transitioned from the classroom to focus on tutoring full time, and I couldn't be happier. Watching children make significant progress and develop a love for learning is incredibly rewarding. Each student's growth and success are at the heart of everything I do.
As one of the founders of Core Ambition Tutors, I am dedicated to providing high-quality, personalised tutoring services. As well as operating Core Ambition Tutors, I currently teach around 30 children every week, both online and in person. My extensive experience and dedication ensure that each child receives the attention and support they need to thrive. Having 2 sons, I completely understand the pressures of being a parent and wanting the best for our children. With this experience and expertise, I can support you in helping your child excel in their academic and personal growth and foster a lifelong love of learning.

Having graduated in journalism in 2002, I worked as a freelance reporter in Afghanistan before returning to the UK to work in regional newspapers. After three exciting years I decided to follow my parents into the world of academia and teaching. Here I have remained for the past 20 years, pursuing my own love of education, gaining a PhD from the University of Leeds and a PGCE from the University of Cambridge; teaching in international schools overseas; and tutoring hundreds of students here in the UK and abroad..
Throughout my years of teaching I have developed skills of patience, perseverance and organisation. I am also equally conscious of those who struggle in the classroom environment as I am of those who thrive. The skills I have sharpened during my teaching and tutoring life, combined with a natural love of education and teaching, an enthusiasm for different cultures and beliefs, and an understanding of the challenges individual students have, enable me to help all students achieve their best.
​Although much of my time is dedicated to the operating of Core Ambition Tutors, I still devote the majority of my working week to tutoring students English Literature, English Language and History. Once a teacher, always a teacher. There are few pleasures more rewarding than observing students develop confidence and enthusiasm under my guidance, then achieve beyond what they considered possible.
