Biography
I have a 2:1 Honours degree in Law as well as a professional
legal qualification (Member of the Institute of Legal Executives).
On the teaching side, I have the City and Guilds 7307 (Parts 1 and 2)
and a Post Graduate Certificate in Further Education.
Most of my qualifications were obtained rather late
in life. I did my law degree as a distance learner through the
University of London, taking my finals in 1997 (and, astonishingly,
winning the Butterworth prize for best student in the final year) and
I completed the PGCE in 2002.
I am a fully qualified and experienced teacher and formerly head of the law
department at a sixth form college.
I have a wide range of teaching experience at various levels in the
classroom, online, and face-to-face, one-to-one. I am also a Senior Examiner
with the AQA (one of the major A-level Law examination boards). As well as
teaching Law, I have developed a range of teaching materials,
including multi-media courses, for a range of publishers.
While teaching at a sixth form college, I developed
a website for Law to enhance the students’ learning experience and to
provide greater opportunities for students to work independently and
as a resource for teachers.
I have written two A-level Law books and have been involved with
several other projects. In 2009 I wrote the tort and concepts of law units for the
National Extension College A2 Law course.
Also in 2009 I created a range of teaching materials for
Hodder Education. These have been produced in the form of a CD-ROM
containing PowerPoint presentations for teachers to use in the classroom, as
well as worksheets and exercises for all areas of the A2 Law course
(contract, tort, crime and concepts of law).
In 2010 and 2011, I produced a series of dynamic learning materials
for teachers of law, again for Hodder Education.
Much of my tutoring,
writing and other materials production is done
in Greece where I spend half my time.

I am also a contributor at the A-Level Conference for
Teachers of A-Level Law in Cambridge. Worksheets for 2009 and 2010 can be
