I worked with David on an innovative school and system-wide reform project in Brunei, as part of a Literacy & Numeracy Coaching programme. I was impressed by David's high level of professionalism, his dedication and passion for education and his willingness to share resources with colleagues as part of our team collaborative effort. He demonstrated deep content and pedagogical knowledge in Mathematics; and he produced videos which were later used by the Ministry of Education in Brunei for training purposes. He was a great colleague to have on the team and as part of the project. I have no hesitation in recommending David for posts in education.

David was an excellent colleague, always keen to innovate and determined to push students to do their best
