8th FEBRUARY 2021

Home schooling. What a misnomer. My house definitely does not resemble my daughter's school, nor do I claim to be any sort of qualified teacher. Meet my newest, most demanding client and find out how my home schooling experience has thrown me a blinder in client service excellence.

21ST JUNE 2021

here’s a name on everyone’s lips right now. The young star that has risen the ranks in unbelievable style. Emma Raducanu. There is so much to be jubilant about after her surreal US grand slam win.
