Academic Mentors

Academic Mentor

I am science teacher with A-level Physics as my specialism. I have been teaching for around 20 years and in that time I have consistently found working with A-level students to be a highly rewarding part of my role.

I find being an academic mentor here at Cowes Enterprise College to be a huge privilege, as I get to work with incredible students and help guide them through some of the most important stages in their school career. The role means I can have really purposeful conversations with engaged students where guidance is tailored to each individuals.
