My name is Natasha, and I am, first and foremost, a mum. 
I have four children, aged between eleven and twenty-two years old. 
We have always been a home-educating family, and I knew from around the age of twenty-one that I would not be sending my children to school.

Before having my children, I was a youth worker. I began volunteering on our local summer play-schemes at the age of fifteen and continued in that vocation until I had my first child at the age of twenty-six.

I worked in America as an au pair, looking after two boys, aged nine and twelve. I worked in South Korea as an English teacher for children and adults, and more recently I volunteered with my children's Scout troop and helped at a local autism charity during the school holidays.

I am currently a volunteer for an advocacy hotline, and my main role is supporting parents when dealing with government organisations, schools and medical professionals.

I have a BA from the University of Sheffield in Law and Criminology and I have studied psychology, sociology and English literature.

From a young age, possibly around fourteen, I knew I wanted to support children and young people in becoming the best that they could be. I vividly recall, telling the careers advisor that I wanted to 'inspire people' when I grew up. Her answer was, "Well, that's not quite what I meant when I asked!" (For those interested, the list of suitable careers suggested to attain this lofty goal included teacher, lawyer, social worker and journalist.)

Now, in 2026, with my own children needing less of my time, I am finally able to turn my attention back to inspiring others, particularly young people and children, to become the best versions of themselves.

'Soft skills' as they are called, such as critical thinking, emotional resilience, conflict resolution and problem solving skills, are in high demand in the workplace and it seems they are being all but neglected by the education system (some would say that this is deliberate, but that is a discussion for another time).

In my opinion, it is absolutely vital that the children and young people of the twenty-first century are equipped with these skills as they grow into adulthood. The ability to 'sort the wheat from the chaff' has never been more pressing as we move into the post-modern age of AI. 

And that brings us to today.

I have created what I hope are a series of engaging, interactive, memorable and fun courses to help children develop and embrace these skills. 

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best Wishes

Natasha
