I'm a passionate and pioneering educator and coach, and have spent the past 30 years working with students and parents.

I have a deep background in developing emotional intelligence and using that in my tutoring and coaching. As well as working directly with students, I also love coaching parents, My own experience of parenting my son Ayrton helped shape my approach. Ayrton had both severely delayed speech (he did not speak a word until the age of 4, and was not fully fluent till age 8), and is dyslexic. In response to the challenges of this, I developed an approach to transform these challenges into high performance, both socially and academically. Ayrton went on to speak in the UK Parliament aged 9 (proposing a new law to help end factory farming); and to excel academically. Ayrton’s award-winning success as a social activist is documented on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayrton_Cable Im also the author of the blog on wise and compassionate living, Crossing the Stream, read by parents and other educators, covering such areas as mindfulness, resilience, confidence, compassion and kindness. https://crossingthestream.substack.com
