All courses will be planned and delivered by Simon, who has over 10 years' experience of delivering 11+ programmes. Simon has 20 years’ teaching experience, with this including time working in Buckinghamshire grammar schools and his most recent post as Assistant Headteacher in Hillingdon. During this time Simon has taught and delivered courses in a range of subject areas.

The ethos of the delivery of the sessions will be greatly influenced by Simon’s personal ethos, namely that young people will learn more effectively if they are enjoying their work and are enthused by the process. Students will be expected to work hard, this being essential if they wish to progress, however this will take place in a happy, positive environment, where all students will feel supported.
