I love being a Tutor as I am able to give the help and support to my students to enable them to have the right skills and knowledge to excel in their chosen career.
WHAT CAN LEARNERS EXPECT FROM WORKING WITH YOU?
I enjoy helping learners and getting the best out of them. The topic that I enjoy the most is communication. There are different ways of communicating in organisations and these can be interpreted in positive and negative ways. It is important to recognise how to communicate in a positive way and also how to do this effectively. It gives me a sense of pride and achievement when my learners have gained confidence in their ability to give feedback to their team and improve their communication skills.

I was born and have lived in Sheffield my whole life. I am married and we have a young son. I enjoy baking with my little helper, going on countryside walks and I am an avid Sheffield Wednesday fan. I also enjoy travelling and have been to many countries including Australia and America.
