Jeremy went to school in South West Surrey, and then studied Politics, Philosophy and Economics at Magdalen College, Oxford, gaining a first class honours degree. After a brief period as a management consultant he went to Japan for two years where he supported himself teaching English whilst he learnt Japanese. He then returned to the UK and with a business partner set up Hotcourses Ltd, the UK's largest publisher of guides and websites to help people choose the right school, college, university or course. He remains a non-Executive director of Hotcourses, which now employs over 150 people.
