I have spent 24 years teaching, building schools and learning what education gets wrong. Chemistry is where I still test those ideas in the classroom.
Evidence
- 24 yearsin education
- Thousandsof students taught directly
- Threeschools built or run

01 / Across education
From the classroom to the institution.
I have spent 24 years moving between the student's misconception, the teacher's decision, the school's system and the platform that tries to scale it.
Three schools built or run
I have worked at classroom, school and board level. The job changes when one teacher's judgment has to become an institution's operating system.
See the institution record 02 / Alt AcademyTeaching beyond one classroom
I founded Alt Academy to carry strong subject teaching beyond one city. Reach matters. Evidence of learning matters more.
See what I am building 03 / AI & teachersMore human. More exacting.
When explanations become easier to generate, diagnosis, judgment, feedback and teacher attention become more valuable.

What twenty-four years inside education has taught me.
When Explanation Becomes Cheap, Teaching Becomes More Human
What teacher time should become when recordings and AI can carry the repeatable explanation.

Good structure should teach responsibility, then slowly make itself less necessary.
Read the essay ChemistryWhy Mole Questions Fall Apart, Even When You Know the Chemistry
A visible route through conversions, ratios and units makes mole calculations far less fragile.
Read the essay03 / In the classroom
Chemistry is where the ideas meet reality.
I still teach O Level, IGCSE, AS and A Level Chemistry. It keeps every theory about curriculum, feedback and independence answerable to real students and real exams.
The method
- Find the exact idea the question is testing.
- Separate chemical truth from familiar wording.
- Build an answer the examiner can reward.
04 / Chemistry groups
Learn with a teacher. Leave with a method.
Online and in-person group interest is now open.
The larger argument
Education should produce capable people.
Chemistry, schools, technology and teacher development are different parts of the same question: what can a learner do without the system carrying them?
