Work with Me

Cambridge. Career. EdTech. Consulting. All grounded in 15+ years of classroom reality.

After 15 years working inside schools — building Cambridge programmes, guiding students at crossroads, training teachers, and helping institutions make sense of AI in education — I have come to believe that the best outcomes start with listening. My approach is built around your specific context, not templates or one-size solutions. Every engagement is structured, documented, and ends with clear next steps for both of us.

How I Can Help

Six focused areas of engagement — each one drawn from real-world practice.

How It Works

Free Discovery Session

A focused one-hour conversation — online or in person — to understand your context, goals, and challenges. No obligation, no pitch. Just listening.

02
Structured Engagements

Periodic, focused sessions built around your requirements. Every meeting ends with clear action items — for you and for me. We move forward together, not just talk.

03
Documented Outcomes

Every engagement is clearly documented. You leave with a record you can act on independently — not just notes from a conversation that fades over time.
