Experience

My main focus is to support learners with their Maths and English development. My role offers me the opportunity to see students develop and grow as an individual and support them achieve essential qualifications.
I have worked with the Army Cadet Force as a CFAV since 2008 having previously been a cadet myself. During my time I have completed numerous course including SAA instructor, Obstacle Course Supervisor and numerous Range Qualifications. My current role is as a Company Commander for South West London in the rank of Major.
Throughout my time as CFAV, I've had plenty of teaching experience and I thoroughly enjoy working with teenagers and helping them to build self-confidence and various others traits which prepare them for the working world.
