He is passionate about evolving the education system; he is a man with integrity, honesty, a thirst to truly transform an idea into a reality. I know he will make this happen - and Martin will include as many others in this journey as he possibly can.

​It is a professional privilege and a personal inspiration to be collaborating with Martin.

​His energy, wisdom, authenticity, kindness, guidance, and laughter are all genuine and I learn from him every step of the way."

"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'.

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.

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.
