Hi, I’m Simon Lewis.

I have been in the education space for over 20 years.

I am fortunate to have been the person that all of my students come to with their troubles, and I help in any way that I can.

Unfortunately, I’m only available in one high school of many around the country.

That is why I have created my site so that I can help other children, and their parents, all over the world.

I hope you find my site to be helpful.
