Nigel’s teaching excellence has gone above theoretical, strategic, and technological advancements in the field of environmental education where he provided an exceptional service, to an engagement with the student body that aimed to facilitate the learning process and significantly enhance the student experience.
His ability to transform low performing students into high achievers, his commitment to quality of the learning process and the student engagement in the design and delivery of the course are only a few of the attributes that have inspired numerous courses in the UK and around the world where he is, was or has been an external examiner or an assessor, or an advisor or a collaborator.
Nigel has always been committed to the education of all students. Aware that many come from a variety of backgrounds, and different cultures he has a unique ability to respect and appreciate uniqueness in others.
With a similar unique ability to envision the future of a student, Nigel deeply cares for the success of all his students.
