Science Teacher and University Lecturer teaching A Level Physics, Biology and Chemistry, but spent much of my teaching in A Level Maths and Computing. Now a Private Teacher. Hobbies Sailing on the River Thames, and making videos and photography.
Sharing the Thames with Rowers, Sailing isn’t a solo act — we share the river with determined rowers who can't see behind them and don’t always know where we're going either. https://pmrsailing.blogspot.com/2025/11/adventure-with-rowers-sharing-thames.html
