Hi, I’m Mark and I worked as a secondary school maths teacher for 32 years, first in Hertfordshire then in North East Essex. Since retirement I have continued to tutor students for their maths GCSE exam.

I have three grown up children, two sons and a daughter, and have recently become a grandad.

Since moving to Essex I’ve developed an interest in the environment and I volunteer one day a week for the RSPB at the Flatford Wildlife Garden.

Other interests include football, cycling, running, walking, reading, birdwatching and if I have any spare time I can often be found on the golf course.
