About: After several decades teaching English and directing plays in the independent sector he now enjoys helping students and institutions to clarify issues by listening carefully and by asking powerful questions. He also enjoys lecturing on literature as well as directing ‘a play in a day’, an excitingly creative approach to mastering key texts at GCSE and A level. He has a close working knowledge of both day and boarding, boys and girls. Fresh air and a ramble across the South Downs form a central part of his approach to wellbeing.
