01 / Selected work

Real problems.
Practical responses.

Two sides of the same approach: help people use technology confidently, and make the work itself easier.

01 Learning design & development

Space to practise.
Confidence to progress.

Kent Classrooms combines clear explanations and focused interactive activities with practical tasks in real Microsoft applications.

Learners can revisit a difficult step at their own pace, while the tutor has more time for the support that needs a person.

  • Active practice alongside multimedia instruction
  • Independent repetition without pressure
  • Real tasks that carry over into everyday work

02 AI & workplace automation

Complex paperwork.
A simpler way through.

Rigid reporting templates can turn useful information into hours of repetitive administration. My document automation work combines AI-assisted writing with reliable Microsoft Office automation.

The content can be reviewed in Excel, then used to populate complex Word templates consistently — including the awkward tables and required sections.

A little judgement goes a long way

Not every problem
needs AI.

Sometimes the useful answer is a formula, a macro, a clearer process or an explanation that finally makes sense. I start with the problem and choose the tools that earn their place.

02 / How I can help

Build it. Explain it.
Make it useful.

Focused support for a particular challenge, or training that helps your team take the next step.

01

Staff training &
digital adoption

Practical Microsoft 365, Excel, AI literacy and digital skills training, shaped around the people and tasks in your workplace.

02

Workflow improvement
& automation

Identify repetitive administration and develop sensible ways to reduce it, using tools your organisation already has.

03

Digital learning
development

Self-paced courses, multimedia explanations and focused interactive exercises that give learners more ways to understand and practise.

03 / A bit about me

An educator
who builds things.

I'm Mike, an adult educator and digital skills trainer based in Canterbury. Since 2022, I've taught digital skills, ESOL and Microsoft 365 at Kent County Council, working with people whose experience ranges from their first mouse click to using technology at work.

I also develop Kent Classrooms and practical administrative automation. That combination keeps my work grounded in both the technical detail and the experience of the person using it.

My wider background includes running businesses and teaching adults and professionals in the UK and internationally.
