Feedback

"I am very grateful for your wealth of experience and told with such wonderful analogies and characterisations which allow me to feel privileged and honored to do this job. Thank you."  

 "...really informative! I look forward to giving class 8 a really wonderful year in the upper school!"

"Dear Julian, It has been a great honor to learn in your geography class, which has given me a more profound understanding of Waldorf education. Your lessons, moving from theory to practice and from specific points to broader perspectives, allowed me to witness the entire process of a main lesson block—its conception, implementation, development, growth, and conclusion—under the guidance of Waldorf principles. It was a complete cycle of theory and practice. Your teaching examples have been very inspiring and have taught me a great deal. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart, and I wish you good health. Kind regards, Nicole Liu"

"Julian's geography teaching is highly exploratory in nature! What I like most is his sharing about study tours and various camps, and through this I have come to realise the importance of study tours and camps for high school students. Such a learning approach is unique to the geography discipline!
I hope to have the opportunity to participate in more specific and comprehensive experiential teaching courses on exploration activities in the future."

"Julian's geography teaching design is very well organised. Each grade's teaching design is based on a thorough consideration and solid grounds. The shared examples are both vivid and profound. Julian himself has a strong interest in nature. He is very concerned about humanity and the current era.
These attitudes are very attractive to students. Julian has a broad knowledge base, yet remains very humble and low-key. In short, Julian is an excellent role model for geography teachers! "

"Truly inspirational!" Albert Wong, Teacher at Forest House School, Hong Kong
