Investing workshops for post-16 students

About me

“My passion is helping students have light bulb moments.”

I left financial advice because the part I loved most was explaining things and watching it click. Now, as a maths teacher, helping my students have those light bulb moments is what I’m most passionate about.

Post-16 students have an incredible opportunity: they have time on their side to invest. Adults always tell me they wish they’d learned this at school, and this is their golden chance to do exactly that.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Do students need any prior knowledge?

None at all. It’s designed for complete beginners and is still useful for students who have dabbled before.

Do you give financial advice to students?

No. The sessions are education only: how investing and ISAs work, not recommendations on what to buy.

How do the 3 free places work?

On the per head option, your school chooses which three students receive a free place, such as pupil premium students. Every other student is £30, paid for by parents/carers unless the school chooses to subsidise it.

Where and when are the sessions held?

Both 1 hour sessions are delivered in person at your school, in a room of your choosing. As I’m a full-time teacher, sessions run after school hours. Send an enquiry and we’ll find dates that work.
