Writing and developing programmes of study in the field of climate change and sustainability.

Critical Thinking Stories and School Visits

"Critical Thinking Stories and School Visits" offers dynamic educational sessions tailored for schools.

Visits include interactive workshops and storytelling experiences aiming to cultivate intellectual curiosity and learning enthusiasm. Perfect for educators seeking to enrich their teaching methods with professional support.

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.

Climate Fresk

The Climate Fresk is an interactive, science-based workshop that makes climate change clear, engaging and fun—for both adults and children. Using a collaborative card game based on the latest IPCC reports, participants explore the causes and effects of climate change, sparking rich discussion and building shared understanding. Developed in France, the Fresk has become a global movement—over 2 million people in 150+ countries have taken part, from schools to businesses. As a trained Fresk facilitator, I lead sessions for schools, community groups and organisations who want to build climate awareness in a creative, empowering way.
