Why work with me
A broadcaster, a writer, and a coach pupils enjoy
I started as a magazine journalist and spent fifteen years in television, presenting for every major broadcaster including BBC Top Gear. I have written speeches professionally since 2012, making me the UK's most highly rated and reviewed speech writer, and I have given talks around the world, including at MIT in Boston to global CEOs.
For pupils that means the real thing: someone who has stood in front of cameras and big rooms for a living, teaching them how to do the same, in a way that is practical, warm and genuinely enjoyable.

Questions from schools
Which year groups is this for?
Mainly the sixth form, Years 12 and 13, where interviews and big presentations start to matter. I also run whole-school enrichment days and work with GCSE years on confidence.
What does a session cover?
Structuring what you want to say, calming the nerves, voice and presence, handling questions, and speaking well with or without notes. It is practical throughout, with real speaking practice.
Is it delivered in school or online?
Both. I run sessions in school anywhere in the UK, and online where that is easier. The format is part of the proposal.
Can you tailor it to interviews or a specific event?
Always. University and Oxbridge interviews, medicine and law interviews, EPQ presentations, Head Student speeches and debating competitions are all common briefs.
How is it priced?
Quoted after a short call, based on group size and format. I am happy to work to an enrichment, careers or sixth-form budget.
What makes you the right person?
I am a former BBC broadcaster with fifteen years in television and a professional speechwriter. I coach executives and have spoken to global CEOs, and I bring exactly that experience to pupils, in a way they enjoy.
