Welcome to Academic Mentor. With extensive experience across schools, colleges, and universities, I have built a dynamic career in education—starting as a teacher and advancing to roles such as lecturer and research supervisor. I have also worked as a curriculum and syllabus designer for International Qualifications London (IQL), NVQ Level 4 and 5. In the field of assessment, I have served as an ESOL examiner for over a decade, assessing thousands of writing scripts and conducting speaking tests. One of my university research projects focused on the validity and reliability of language testing systems including IELTS and TOEFL. I am also an experienced editor, contributing to both book and journal publications by refining content to meet academic and publishing standards. In digital education, I have worked for more than ten years as an instructional designer, developing online courses and interactive activities for both K–12 and tertiary learners, including Cambridge A Level courses. With deep expertise in the MOODLE platform, I have successfully managed virtual and blended learning models as an administrator. Some of my old videos about blended and virtual models can be found on YouTube. My recent contents are avaible at 'https://www.youtube.com/@tale-tell-teacher'. A tech-savvy professional, I am proficient in using a wide range of AI tools and applications, which I integrate into teaching and learning environments to improve engagement and outcomes.
Below are the main areas where I offer my support and expertise:
