Summary
I am a keen believer that learning in a safe but fun and engaging environment is key to successful learning, and I believe I can engage even the most challenging of learners. The reason I have stayed at a Tipton school for so long is mainly because I enjoy working with the challenging students the most.
I also believe exercise is good for the body and mind, I have children at home that have difficulties (ADHD and suspected Autism) and have found exercise is a brilliant way to manage some of their difficulties.
A a child, I boxed for many years and then went on to fight at a professional level for 10 years in Thai Boxing, in which time I fought for area titles, The English Title, The Lonsdale British Title and I represented England and fought on Sky Sports, Euro Sport and Channel 5.
