My Journey

Hi, my name is Calvin. Over the years I have been teaching, I have often wondered how we could make education more engaging and interesting. This question has led me down many paths and I have had many of my own enriching life experiences from it.

Along this journey, I have become very much involved in board gaming (which has had a resurgence in the past couple of years). As a teacher, I started to experiment with ideas about how to use board games to engage children and help them develop life skills; such as negotiation, body language, leadership skills and money management. I focused on developing different skills, skills I felt were also important to their learning journey. For instance, their understanding of; cause and effect, meta gaming, winning with grace, losing with pride, stocks and shares…

So, with this in mind I decided to form the company Edgui (to educate) to support my ideas and goals and give a limited group of students some of those lifelong lessons in a safe and controlled environment.

These lessons will be fun! I find the best learning is often achieved when students are laughing together. It shows that they are comfortable, relaxed and willing to give new things a go.

I hope you are excited enough to let your child take part in this creative programme looking to develop their character and get them away from computer screens.
