Iain Goodyear

I believe I have skills valuable to teaching that I can best summarize in the areas of communication & interpersonal skills, theoretical & practical knowledge of media, games design, photography and graphic design. In addition to my main role as a teacher, I also produce and maintain my own design portfolios in photography and motion graphic design. I have very good communication skills. 

I am proficient in the use of Adobe After Effects, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere, Adobe Lightroom and Blender. I can verbally communicate clearly with other teachers and students and adapt my teaching style if necessary to suit the needs of the groups and individuals that I teach. I have a pleasant demeanor and I always treat others with courtesy and respect. 

I have extensive theoretical and practical expertise gained through my post 16 education in media and my experience as a media tutor. I have a clear and well-developed understanding of key media concepts such as media language, media representation & media values & ideologies. I feel my enthusiasm for digital media is reflected positively by my continued practice as a video editor, motion graphics designer and photographer. 

Twenty years teaching experience a range of subjects including media studies, media production, photography, graphic design and games development. Currently teaching photography, graphic design and digital art at Priestley College in Warrington in the UK.

PGCE in Further Adult & Higher Education.
