Your Tutor
I graduated with a First Class Honours degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics, before beginning my career in accountancy.
I joined PwC on their graduate scheme and qualified as an ICAEW chartered accountant. I worked at PwC in London for over three years, including a short secondment to the Milan office. Since qualifying with PwC, I have turned my attention to teaching accounting and finance. Before joining Manchester Metropolitan University, I spent over four years teaching papers on the ACA, ACCA and CIMA qualifications at Kaplan in Manchester, specialising in teaching management accounting and financial management.
Outside of work, I am a keen fell runner and road cyclist, and enjoy keeping fit and active.

Despite very difficult personal circumstances, with VIVA's help I managed to not only pass the SCS but to achieve my highest case study score from the 3 levels. Please keep doing what you do as it's so good!
I have had access to multiple other well known providers of ACCA courses, and I find the VIVA videos are so much better presented, the course material is more clearly explained and the tutors are real tutors, unlike some other providers using a computer generated voice. Absolutely, after 6 months of comparing providers, VIVA is the best.
I passed my OCS with a scaled score of 137 and got a letter from CIMA saying that I obtained the joint third position for the February 2019 case study and I believe that VIVA's materials really helped to make this possible.
VIVA were absolutely key in my CIMA Case Study exam - where I received first position in the world! I felt extremely supported with VIVA throughout the course, and would recommend them to anybody. I just wish I had found them much earlier in my studies!
I would highly recommend VIVA Financial Tuition to any CIMA student looking to achieve a high grade in their exams. Their courses offer remarkable value for money when compared to some of the traditional tuition providers. (World Prizewinner 2017)
I want to thank VIVA for bringing to a successful end my study journey. I only wish I knew about VIVA earlier! Since using VIVA, I have passed my final exams.
I have used VIVA for all three Case Studies, passing first time on all three. I could not have done it without VIVA's help! Hands down, the best resource out there for CIMA Case Studies.
Before I signed up with VIVA's Elite course I was already enrolled with another tuition provider, and the way VIVA runs this course is 100x better! I will highly recommend you to my coworkers who are early in their CIMA journey.
