Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Science from Brighton University UK
Jo Reynolds BSc Money Business Video Games YouTube
As a serial entrepreneur who founded three successful companies before the age of 30, my drive to succeed in life began in my teens when I realised the power of positive motivation. I was lucky enough to have a good mentor who guided me through the intricacies of financial management which helped me to understand the value of money, how to identify and seize opportunities to make money and how to manage an investment portfolio. 

I hold a Bachelors degree and also teach conversational English to children and adults across the world.
