I am a physicist by profession, and my career has always focused primarily on communication and learning.

Fifteen years spent in private industry designing communication systems software eventually saw me concentrate on the development of accessibility and learning aids for blind, partially sighted, dyslexic ad dyscalculic computer users - whilst also working part-time as a mathematics and science tutor.

I am a specialist in the use of technology in education, having written numerous magazine articles on the subject - as well as being the author of the popular textbook for teachers "Moodle Course Conversion".

Besides teaching, I love anything mechanical and anything old. As well as being well-known as a tutor, I am very active in my local community. I have published a book on the history of Droitwich Spa Lido and was at the forefront of the ultimately successful national campaign to have the attraction reopened - regularly appearing in newspapers and on radio and TV.

My interests are many and varied but I do particularly enjoy teaching maths, physics, chemistry and ICT. I strongly believes that one-to-one tuition can not only bring exam success in these subjects but also, helped by my great enthusiasm for teaching and education generally, instil in students a lifelong drive to learn.

Experience

Life's Experience...

Ian read physics at the University of Leeds School of Physics and Astronomy before embarking on a career in industrial research and development in the laboratories of Zortech International.

His work for Ceramaspeed Limited brought him to the attention of small local firm Parascan Techologies (now alfaQuest Techologies), producers of workflow and prepress solutions for the newspaper industry.

There he worked mainly for French daily Le Monde, as well as stints with L'équipe and a number of other European newspapers.

Then on to Lucent Technologies as a Bell Labs engineer developing voicemail systems at what is now Avaya UK's technology campus in Welwyn Garden City.

In 2001 Ian returned home to Worcestershire to work for Dolphin Computer Access, authors of specialist software for people with visual and print impairments. There he specialised in Internet accessibility for the visually impaired and educational aids for children with print impairments. In 2007 he branched out on his own to work as a full-time private tutor.
