About Me

I've spent my life in international education. I have taught at high schools, international schools, and universities across Asia. I now make my long-term home in Hong Kong with my son Danny. In my free time, I am a freestyle musician and a writer.

Teaching Approach

My teaching philosophy is "work smart, not hard." As a student, you want to get the best results possible with the least amount of effort. That's where I come in. I will take the skills and information that you need and package them in the simplest, easiest possible terms so that you can get better quickly without much sweat.
