With a career spanning multiple countries and educational settings, Roy has worked with a diverse range of adult learners both overseas and in Australia. Since joining TrainSmart Australia in February 2020, he has drawn on his broad international experience and passion for learning and development to create engaging and meaningful learning experiences for students.
Roy began his training career as a language trainer for corporate clients in Japan before expanding his work across France, India, Singapore, and Japan. Exposure to different cultures, industries, and learning environments has given him a unique perspective on adult education and workplace learning.
Since settling in Australia, Roy has delivered training programs across both the public and private sectors. His areas of expertise include leadership and management, presentation and communication skills, learning strategies, stress management, and time management. Through these programs, he has helped learners strengthen their workplace performance and develop valuable personal and professional skills.
Roy’s approach to education is learner-centred, focusing on making learning accessible, engaging, and relevant. He enjoys developing creative ways to communicate course content so that students can easily understand, retain, and apply their learning in real-world situations. By taking the time to understand each learner’s goals and aspirations, he strives to create a supportive, positive, and rewarding learning environment.
A strong advocate of lifelong learning, Roy has been an active member of Toastmasters International for many years, further developing his own leadership, communication, and public speaking skills.
Outside the classroom, Roy enjoys nature photography and printmaking and can often be found out and about in Perth photographing birds, flowers, and insects
