Hey! I’m Robert, and I’m an education professional with a track record of designing and delivering large-scale learning experiences that prioritise scalable structure and the people at its core. Across both international English camps and EdTech spaces, I’ve managed complex operations, led multi-layered teams, and driven measurable improvements in learner satisfaction, retention, and impact.
What does it take to redefine learning? It starts with designing systems that do right by people and scale with integrity.

Multiverse is one of the UK’s biggest apprenticeship providers, in addition to being the UK’s first edtech unicorn. We focus on helping people to upskill in areas like data science, data engineering, and leveraging AI to help more people gain access to the skills they need to thrive in today’s business landscape. During my time at Multiverse, I have supported over 200 apprentices.
As degree-level apprenticeship coach, I am currently supporting 100 apprentices primarily in achieving their BSc Digital and Technology Solutions through Multiverse’s Advanced Data Fellowship (Level 6) apprenticeship. By facilitating monthly group coaching sessions and quarterly progress reviews with apprentices and their managers, I work alongside our course instructors to develop apprentices’ skills by delivering workplace-based projects.
As an institution recently granted Degree-Awarding Powers, I further ensure that our programme is compliant with the regulatory requirements of both the Education Skills Funding Agency and Office for Students by delivering and innovating our governance, policies, and processes for degree provision.

Calligraphy is a big passion of mine. Over the last decade, I’ve learned to write fluently in over 10 different writing systems, including Greek, Cyrillic, Georgian, Daedric, Hungarian Rovás, Korean Hangeul, Japanese Hiragana and Katakana, and Hindi Devanagari. My favourite? Georgian. It’s so curvy!
Can’t forget videogames, either. I’ve got over 16,000 hours spread between RuneScape and Old School RuneScape alone (let’s call it a “high-functioning addiction”); Dark Souls, Deus Ex, and The Elder Scrolls are among my favourite series, with Undertale, Hollow Knight, Minecraft and Terraria being among my favourite standalone games. They certainly make the hobby of “staying indoors” more interesting!
I also collect videogame soundtracks. To put it in perspective, of my music library of 8,000+ songs, 96.2% of it is all videogame music. The Japanese Touhou Project makes up a large percentage of it, with original songs and remixes of Undertale, Hollow Knight, Dark Souls and Final Fantasy XIV following in close pursuit. My favourite composer just may be Yuka Kitamura.
- 3,683+ day streak on Duolingo

- 7700+ videogame songs in my music library (no regrets)

Content, Process and Relationship
How to take the stress out of practicing public speaking.
Practicing a speech is intimidating. Not only do you have to know your stuff, but you also have to think about your structure, your gestures and your audience. It helps to break it down in a practical way. Have you ever noticed what makes you watch a movie a first, a second, and sometimes even a third time? It’s the same way you should be practicing public speaking. [Read more]

Giving feedback is a fundamental skill that few master. It’s not just about evaluating someone’s strengths and weaknesses in task performance, but championing them forward as an individual.

How can you get your audience back on your side where other speakers fail? Here are the four key behaviours to notice and what to say to address them. [Read more]
