“Why don’t we say to our children that winning is important?”
Sean Fitzpatrick, Rugby World Cup Winner 1987, All-Blacks Captain 1992 - 1997
Mentoring is more wide-ranging than tutoring, focusing beyond the academic. Often parents are looking for someone to inspire and motivate, to empower their child. With a responsible eye on their well-being, I have acted as both leader and mentor, alongside the traditional tuition role. Ultimately, I want my students to become confident, resilient, independent learners ready to take on the world and win.
With leadership skills and practical advice developed scholastically, in sport, and more recently professionally, this is an additional layer to the tutoring I can offer. Go to the Blog section of the website to find out more. I also recommend the following books to develop your leadership, team-building skills and determination to succeed. They have motivated both me and many of my students in recent years.
Alex Ferguson, Leading
Stephen R Covey, 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
James Kerr, Legacy
Matthew Syed, You Are Awesome
Sean Fitzpatrick, Winning Matters
“The Association and the profession owe you a lot. Your energy has been remarkable; you have been unstinting with your time, and your commitment seems to know no bounds.”
