"Helping teachers teach, and students learn."

I offer award-winning classroom and online university teaching experience, integrated with first-hand knowledge of programming for the WWW. I pioneered research on real-time interactive video-conferenced teaching in dark-fibre environments. Other specializations include teacher/faculty development and the enhancement and rehabilitation of student academic achievement. I work well with students, parents, administrators, and programmers. I have created dozens of original online courses and have experience in curriculum development and assessment. I also offer administrative and managerial experience.
