About me

Twenty-five years in finance, five years teaching and tutoring and a clear mission now: help tutors and education business owners feel calm about their numbers.

Where it started

Nearly 25 years working through finance roles taught me one thing above all: messy accounts can always be sorted and nothing is as bad as it looks once you open the file.

2004

I qualified as an accountant and spent over a decade working at that level, then decided to do something completely different: retrain as a teacher. It didn’t quite go to plan. Almost from the moment I qualified, I became a tutor instead.

2022-24

It was in the tutor Facebook groups, the very ones you’re probably scrolling, that I kept spotting the same questions about tax, self assessment and HMRC. Questions I already knew the answers to. So I started helping.

2024-25

By the end of 2024 I had a clear direction: bring my accountancy background back and use it to support the people I understand best: tutors and education business owners. I ran my first webinar for tutors in January 2025 and it’s grown from there.

I still tutor maths, so I see both sides of the business every day: chasing invoices, worrying about deadlines and working out whether something counts as an expense, all while planning lessons and replying to parents.

What drives me

I want you to feel that I care, that I get you and that I’ve been there and done it.

Nothing is a problem; we can sort it out together. Burying your head in the sand is always worse and I can take a weight off your shoulders.

When I’m not working, you’ll find me at the theatre or a concert, baking, making bread, sewing and dressmaking, or binge-watching something on Netflix. Working for myself gives me the flexibility to do more of what I love, including more travelling.
