I am very happy with our experience so far with Varsity Tutors. They matched my daughter with reading specialist Mary and she is wonderful! My 10 year old daughter feels happy after her sessions and believes her tutor has already helped her.

Neil

Certified Tutor

I was born in England but arrived in New Zealand as a 10 month old baby, so i feel that I originated from New Zealand. It was in New Zealand that i received my Bachelors and Masters degrees, both from the University of Auckland. Subsequently i travelled to the UK and worked for a couple of years as a research technician, first at the University of Newcastle, then the University of Glasgow. It was while working at the University of Glasgow that i also undertook my PhD in Immunology. After completing my PhD i worked as a fellow at the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research in Melbourne. After 5 years there I returned to Scotland on a Wellcome Trust Travelling Fellowship. This was based at the University of Edinburgh. Finally, i returned to Glasgow as a Lord Kelvin Adam Smith Fellow. I am passionate about biology in general, but most specifically about the immune system and how this system deals with pathogens and cancer. I really enjoy sharing knowledge and interacting with students at all levels.

I have a keen interest in most sports, especially if this concerns the All Blacks (the NZ national rugby team). I enjoy walks with my wife and our wee dog Ozzy. I am a rock/metal fan so am often found listening to the likes of Metallica and Iron Maiden (my two favourite bands). I love great beer and wine and i enjoy good food.
