Additional Information

I have had substantial experience in helping students apply to university through UCAS, CommonApp, other US colleges, the Netherlands, France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Greece, China, Australia and other countries.

I like to be very well-organised and try to make my students do the same to minimise stress.

I have run the Debating Society and MUN at Malvern since September 2010.

I work several hours a week as a volunteer in a charity shop, which has helped me to practise my interpersonal skills.

During my adult life, I have taken extra A-Level examinations - French, Classical Civilisation, and AS Italian.
