Welcome to my website,

 

I am a qualified and very experienced educator who has moved into the world of training and support services delivering courses for international and national clients, developing and delivering bespoke courses for individuals (adults & children) schools, universities, corporate, business and  industry. All my workshops and courses can be tailored specifically for the client.

I am a Team Inspector for ISI and have been since 1997. This is the inspection service for the independent schools world wide. I have taught DT, IT and Thinking Skills since 1985 in several schools, including three Quaker Schools in the UK. 
In 2008 I trained to be one of the first licensed instructors for iMindMap software which strictly adheres to Tony Buzan’s original concepts and ideas for MindMapping. In January 2009 I full-filled a life long ambition to become a  Buzan Licensed Instructor  for all other forms of MindMapping. As a former senior manager and teacher I have a wealth of experience which I can bring to your establishment or business.

As you will see from this site I am passionate about Mind Mapping because I believe that it unlocks the door for so many peoples learning and development. As an affiliate and official reseller of the iMindmap software I am able to provide you with the very best personal service for this fantastic product.

‘Learning how to learn is life’s most important skill’  Tony Buzan.

Mindmapping techniques can and do help the young and older get ‘their brains’ round huge problems or tasks which they would have normally walked away from in shear frustration. I have seen so many people start to be able to solve problems and learn things that they would have struggled with until they learnt the simple mapping techniques.

I am currently in the process of planning two publications on the use of mind mapping in education. These will be available later in 2009 as ebooks. So watch this space!

For hobbies and general therapy I like to make things for myself and for other people. Although time is preventing much of this at the moment. My other hobby is photography, I love taking digital images and have started to get into image manipulation with Photoshop CS2.

I am an avid Landrover fan and really enjoy driving.

  3. Hi Tim,

    congrats on the new thinking skills credential. Mind Mapping is a wonderful invention by a very “right minded” guy, Tony Buzan.

    Tony was getting started with Mind Mapping just about the time that my colleagues and I at Brain Technologies Corporation were creating our BrainMap® assessment tool and all the practices surrounding BrainMapping. This is a total-brain approach to helping people understand how to handle themselves and others better, smarter and wiser in today’s amazing world. More details available at

    Together, Mind Mapping and BrainMapping are a heck of a powerful roadmapping package to anti-status-quo your tomorrows.

    Best regards,
    Dudley Lynch
    President
    Brain Technologies Corporation
