About Virtual Tutor

I am a freelance teacher, Gifted and Talented provider, staff CPD and ICT consultant. I have an interest in online learning and I am currently assessing the effectiveness of available tools for teaching online. I have worked for 12 years for a global corporate enterprise in Australia and over 8 years in education in the United Kingdom. My specialty is in all things technology and media from web design, video production, photography and graphic design to PC engineering, networking and databases. Together with OCNW I have written two Access to HE (A Level) qualifications, PC Technicians and Web Development, and I am currently in my second year of the BA in Education and Training with Huddersfield University where I am specializing in technology, curriculum design and innovative teaching. I hope you enjoy your lessons with me as much as I enjoy teaching them, I look forward to seeing you online. Steve http://virtualtutor.ning.com
