My friends and I used to make lego stop-animation films, and avoid the sunlight as much as possible. As is the way with all nerds, the sunlight was offensive to our eyes and our hobbies. A vicious cycle.
At school, I began writing articles for Philosophy magazines, and had a tutor in Philosophy from the age of 13.
Whilst a student at Oxford, I secured a contract with Oxford University Press to write and present a series of educational documentaries for A-level RS. This was a great experience for me, and gave me the belief that I could make money from what I loved doing.
Since then, I have taught Philosophy at 6th Form, developed my filmmaking abilities (which you can see here on YouTube), and learned website design. Today, I have a successful online education platform for A-level students, and my Art commentary documentaries have been seen worldwide in the Van Gogh: Immersive Experience exhibition.
