"Martin has all the qualities needed to be a good coach.

He listens not only to what you say, but also to how you say it. Some call this 'finger tip sensitivity' others call it 'experience'.  

​I have never had more effective coaching than when Martin coached me."

Martin, you have my warmest recommendations!

Home-schooling for gifted children

In response to local school's treatment of gifted and differently-gifted children, I decided to run my own school. With just five students of wildly different abilities, skills and interests I was challenged to find a range of ways of communicating, explaining and motivating them. I learned a great deal which I have later used in teaching and leadership situations.
Education Otherwise
and the National Association for Gifted Children

In the UK it is possible to home-school children under the legal provision of EO, 'Education Otherwise'. Children who are specially gifted are supported through the work of the NAGC.
