Chris Thorn was an online tutor for one of our online programmes from April to December 2022. Over that time his work was always excellent. He ran webinars, tutorials and gave feedback on assignments and supported course participants in other ways as well. His work was always to a very high standard, he was reliable and flexible, and helped out on a number of occasions when we needed additional support. We'll definitely be working with Chris again.

I moderated a British Council TeachingEnglish open course for teachers, English in the Multilingual Classroom on Facebook from 14th February to 13th March. Chris Thorn was the brains behind digital asset production and management. He created beautiful and engaging videos, discussion posts, images and infographics that captivated the course participants and drew more participation. In addition, Chris provided support by effectively managing the learning community. He was everybody's go-to person on the course because he had answers to all questions about online learning including course administration, learning community development and management, and quality assurance. So, if you ever need someone for designing and managing an online course, ThornLearning will make sure everything goes like clockwork. So, what are you waiting for???
