Megan .

Palaeontology Tutor

Hello! My name is Megan and I’m a palaeontologist. I will be teaching geology and palaeontology lessons. I have my BSc and MRes in Palaeontology and currently undertaking a PhD at the University of Portsmouth. I have published many scientific papers on a range of subjects, appeared on TV promoting Isle of Wight geology/ palaeontology and have my first fossil book coming out in 2025! My research area is broad, as I simply find it all interesting! But I have specialised in marine reptiles and pterosaurs, but my focus has shifted towards geology, as the rocks can tell us so much! I also run Wight Coast Fossils, a fossil and geology tour company here on the Isle of Wight with two friends. We take people of all ages and all walks of life along our coastlines and open their eyes to our amazing prehistoric past! I love to share my subject with all those that will listen, so I can’t wait to share this amazing science with everyone here too!

“I can’t thank you enough for starting this group Amy. You gave me back my happy (not so little anymore) boy. Thanks to this group he’s realised he’s not the stupid, naughty kid that school made him believe he was. His sister is on school holidays and he’s doing recorded lessons by choice. Xxxx ”

“this group is without doubt an absolute blessing. Fantastic classes with amazing teachers at an extremely reasonable price. I for one am so thankful to you and your team for everything you all do. We appreciate the hub so much and are very grateful xx ”

Claire, Parent

“Our family are full time travellers and the hub is a life line for us. The children get to see and speak to adults who show a real interest in their learning and their lives. They get to pick lessons that they are interested in and have fun learning something new. The social hub was a real life line for us too. My 3 have made friends and love getting to chat to children and adults daily too. ”
