Consultancy
Supporting Schools in Climate Education and Sustainability Leadership I work with schools to develop relevant climate curricula that integrate sustainability across subjects and year groups. By tailoring content to your school’s vision and pupils’ needs, I help make climate education meaningful and engaging. Beyond curriculum design, I support ESG development, guiding schools in creating climate action plans and embedding sustainability into policies and culture. I also provide coaching for sustainability leads, helping build capacity, share best practices, and drive change effectively. With insights from the Centre for Climate Change and Sustainability Education (CCCSE), I bring cutting-edge approaches to climate science teaching, keeping your school at the forefront of climate education. Whether starting or expanding initiatives, my goal is to empower your school as a confident leader in climate action and education.
Private Tutoring
Out-of-the-Box Tutoring for Curious Minds Not all children learn the same way—and that’s the point. I offer creative, personalised tutoring that goes beyond worksheets and rote learning. Together, we build understanding, confidence and capability in a supportive, imaginative space, tailored to your child’s unique strengths and interests. Whether they need help catching up or stretching further, I weave in curiosity, critical thinking, and a sense of wonder—often drawing on music, art and culture to bring ideas to life. This is tutoring for young people who think differently, learn differently, and deserve to be taught differently.
Eco Club at Gurnard Pines
Planned: At Gurnard Pines, I run an EcoClub for young people who are curious about the environment and passionate about making a difference. Through hands-on activities, discussions, games and mini-projects, members explore key environmental topics—from climate change and biodiversity to waste, energy and local sustainability. The club is a safe, friendly space that encourages critical thinking, builds knowledge and confidence, and helps young people feel empowered to act—both in their own lives and in their communities. Above all, EcoClub is about nurturing a generation of thoughtful, informed and inspired changemakers who understand that small actions, grounded in understanding, can lead to real impact.
