I have been an adult education teacher for more than 10 years. Earlier in life I served in the Royal Navy, where I was fortunate enough to travel widely, but I had a great yearning to learn. It was after I had the left the RN that I became a mature student, and gained a 1st class honours degree in English & Creative Writing in 2012 with the University of Cumbria. I then went on to do a PGCE and taught GCSE English and A Levels at Carlisle College, before becoming a self-employed adult education teacher.I now travel around different parts of the UK teaching Philosophy, Philosophy & Literature, Global Philosophy and Stoicism, amongst other related subjects. Though based in Northumberland, I also teach regularly in Cumbria and Newcastle upon Tyne, as well as taking termly teaching trips to the Highgate Literary & Scientific Institute in London, the Guildford Institute, the Bristol Folk House and the Morrab Library in Penzance. I teach several residential courses each year at Higham Hall in the Lake District, as well as an annual Creative Writing break at the Green Park Hotel in Pitlochry, Perthshire.My research into Global Philosophy has rekindled my interest in Meditation, and so in 2023 I qualified as a Meditation Teacher with the British School of Meditation, gaining a Distinction. I have begun to integrate this with my practice and teaching of Philosophy, as I seek to form a wholistic philosophy for life. This has led to me running an annual retreat in Morocco, which incorporates Philosophy, Mindfulness & Meditation. I am now in the process of starting Wandering Sage, an on-line community for those interested in life’s deeper questions.
