Growing up, I was convinced I wasn't a "Maths guy." I struggled to get thoughts from my brain onto paper, preferring to keep everything in my head (I had undiagnosed ADHD); of course, this led to 'stupid' mistakes. As a kid, I internalised those ‘stupid’ mistakes as a sign that I was stupid.


Everything changed when I met Nick, a tutor who didn't really just teach me Maths; he taught me how to think. He gave me the space to untangle my thoughts, proving that my struggle wasn't a lack of ability, but a lack of the right process. That experience changed the trajectory of my life. Really, I’m not kidding.


Finally, I’ve studied (and tutored!) with ADHD — without medication; that choice has been enabled by my tutor, Nick, building a systems-oriented approach to learning and revision (i.e., I was taught not what to revise, but how to revise).I turned my unique brain into my greatest asset.


It turns out, those systems worked pretty well, well enough anyway to build and manage a company dedicated to helping others find their own "Nick.”

Foster self-reliance

The aim is to be a victim of our own success. We work to make students academically self-reliant. Don't accept an "I think I get it”. Look for confident independent thought: topic by topic, subject by subject.
