About your Mentor

Ian

Founder of New Paradigm Education and The Genius Tree, I have been working in the Arts and Education for over 25 years. My principle claim is having learned how to learn: I have taken that ability and applied it to diverse activities including writing, publishing, graphic design, event organisation, music, art, sport and languages (French & Spanish). Teaching Maths, French, English and Music, I have worked with large groups and private students, coaching people to develop their skills with ease and most importantly, fun. I have a low tolerance for boredom and I love to share my inspiration for life generally.

Learning aims

To better understand the modern world.

Strengths to develop

Learning about the ways in which our society operates can give us the fortitude not to succumb to the many forms of manipulation to which we are exposed.

Cancellation

My experience is an educational activity and the 14-day cooling-off period under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 therefore applies. After the 14 day period my standard policy will apply.

• No refunds are given except in the case of a cancellation by the Mentor.

• Sorry, previous experience of time wasters suggests that a level of commitment is required. No refunds given for any sessions missed or cancelled. This is a group experience which greatly improves when a shared level of interest mutually feeds the discussions and boosts the outcome for everyone concerned.
