In Conversation – Webinars, Podcasts and Talks
In Conversation brings together webinars, podcasts and panels I’ve taken part in with other tutors and education specialists. These sessions are about sharing perspectives, sparking ideas, and exploring the entrance exam landscape together.
Media Features:
Podcast Episodes:
A podcast for entrance exam tutors who want to go deeper than past papers and practice books.
Together we’ll explore how our role is evolving from paper coaches to thought guides.
Each episode dives into why exams are changing, what modern tutoring demands, and how to teach flexibly by connecting language and thinking across subjects.
Join me as we reflect, challenge old habits, and share practical ideas to keep tutoring current, creative, and connected – helping students truly think beyond the papers.
In this wonderful discussion with Sumantha McMahon, we share lots of ways to establish yourself in a way where you can rely on word of mouth to attract clients.
Importantly, we both unpack situations where word of mouth can manifest.
