My lessons are built around creating a supportive, positive, and motivating environment where students feel comfortable opening up, growing in confidence, and moving forward.

I take a coaching and mentoring approach rather than just “teaching.” Every student is different, so I adapt sessions around the individual — their goals, challenges, confidence levels, mindset, and what they personally need support with.

Sessions are relaxed, conversational, and focused on real-life development. Depending on the student, we may focus on:

* Confidence & self-belief
* Motivation & discipline
* Managing stress or pressure
* Communication skills
* Building positive habits
* Leadership & personal growth
* Emotional wellbeing
* Goal setting & accountability
* Mindset and resilience
* Navigating school, relationships, or future direction

My background is in education, PE, mentoring, and life coaching. I’ve worked with young people for over 18 years and through my company, [BFree Sports], I’ve supported over 3,000 children weekly across schools through mentoring, empowerment programmes, leadership development, and wellbeing support.

Alongside this, I also coach men and fathers around confidence, mindset, emotional wellbeing, and personal development, which has strengthened my ability to support people from all backgrounds and stages of life.

As the founder of BFree Sports, I’ve also built and managed a team of coaches and mentors, developing staff standards, leadership skills, mentoring frameworks, and a strong positive culture within the company. This has given me valuable experience in leadership, communication, team development, and supporting others to perform at their best.

My aim is always to help students feel more confident, more self-aware, and better equipped to handle life positively — not just during sessions, but long term.
