I have never attended school, but was
instead autonomously educated at home until I was 16. I then attended
college to take my GCSEs and A-levels, and from there went on to study a
Master's in Computer Science and Philosophy at Oxford University, which I
have recently completed. I am a huge fan of home education and the freedom
it provides to focus on one's passions, without wasting time in the way
school can. Being able to organise my own time and follow my own lights
has definitely been to my advantage, and without home education I doubt I
would be where I am today.

I was home educated for two years at
primary age, and then again for most of my secondary years, having tried several
schools and encountered bullying at each. Most of my studying was self
motivated, and I worked my way through GCSEs and A-levels at home. From there,
I went on to take a long-distance degree in Mathematics and Statistics, still
studying from home. I also spent a lot of time in my teens advocating for home
educated children politically, as chair of the Home Educated Youth Council, and
I'm still active in my local home ed community today, running workshops for the
next generation as the older kids once helped me.
