As a mum to three amazing little boys I am all too aware of the challenges we face as parents in supporting our children in their education. I founded Learning Academies Ltd as a direct result of seeing the benefits that extra tuition can bring and I am proud to be working alongside parents to inspire our young people with a lifelong love of learning.

I worked for 6 years as a Primary School Teacher in Colchester before taking up a Travelling Fellowship in North America with the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust, researching international approaches to drugs and health education for young people. I followed this up by working with a range of community organisations and professional sports clubs in Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific, once again focusing on community youth education. I moved back to England in 2001 taking up the newly created role of Education Director at Ipswich Town Football Club, working alongside my colleagues to secure funds to establish and run 3 new Study Centres across the county and founding the Club's Community Charitable Trust. I recently gained my Masters degree in Education and as a qualified Head teacher, I have specialised in critical friendship and mentoring. I am proud to be a Family Ambassador for The Sick Children's Trust and Chair of Governors at our local primary school.

It is our ambition that Learning Academies becomes a nationallly recognised provider of high quality, innovative tuition - that is fun, relevant and effective.
