He then was appointed by Solihull School in the West Midlands as a member of staff. Soon after this he undertook a B.A at the Open University (Milton Keynes, UK) specialising in Biology. He was one of the very first to graduate from the University. During this time, he took a long-term interest in how to study and prepare for examinations. Five years later he studied for an M.Ed. at Leicester University, submitting his dissertation on how pupils prepared for examinations.
