About Alan
With an extensive background in mathematics, computer science, and over two decades of GIS experience, I offer you a unique learning journey. Qualifications from the University of Kent at Canterbury, The Open University and the University of Aberdeen combined with my career in both Mathematics (stats) and GIS has put me in a position of a huge amount of academic and commercial experience.
My career spans local and central government roles, as well as positions in both small and large corporations. Currently, I work as a GIS software and data architect for a leading UK company, thus ensuring my knowledge is cutting-edge and industry-relevant.

He’s one of those people who just gets how to teach — not in a rigid or overly formal way, but in a way that actually makes things click.
What I’ve always appreciated about Alan is his patience. He never rushes through explanations and takes the time to make sure you really understand, not just memorize. I’ve seen him adjust his approach depending on who he’s working with, which makes a big difference, especially for anyone who might be struggling or lacking confidence.
He’s also very easy to get along with — friendly, approachable, and genuinely invested in helping people improve. It doesn’t feel like he’s just “doing a job”; he actually cares about the progress his students make.
If you’re looking for someone reliable, knowledgeable, and down-to-earth, Alan is a great choice. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.I have known Alan for nearly 10 years. He has a professional attitude to both work and learning, he is very consistent and a good teacher. I went through a career change and Alan coached me with all the GIS components.
