Research Scientist to Home Tutor

I left my life in Manchester where I worked as a research scientist for the world respected Wellcome Trust and moved to North Wales to start a family. I needed a new career that was rewarding and flexible.  Tutoring and home schooling was the answer. I love it. Seeing pupils do well, pass exams and gain confidence is what it's all about.
