The website of the north-west regional training course for teachers.

The school has been temporarily closed since October 2017. However, plans are being made to re-open the school soon, probably some time in 2019. Please contact me with any questions and/or to register your interest in visiting the class or in training as a teacher.

I am currently leading a weekly class that is an informal continuation of MATTS, open to qualified teachers, post-graduates, trainee teachers, potential trainee teachers and experienced students.

Alexander in Education: A dedicated website of the Society of the Teachers of the Alexander Technique (STAT).

"The Alexander Technique is taught worldwide in schools, colleges and universities, and is a powerful aid for children and young people.  It reawakens natural poise so that minds and bodies can work in harmony to counter stress in our environment. It substitutes habitual tensions with a free-flowing coordination, and thus has a wide range of applications for young people. These include:

•    cultivating mental and emotional health

•    enabling resilience and self-confidence

•    developing a balanced approach to academic work

•    enhancing performance in sport, music and public speaking

•    dealing with neck, shoulder and back pain

•    promoting social skills"
