Visiting Lecturer: School of Physical Education, National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University,
469 Bukit Timah Road, Singapore

Lecturing prospective physical education teachers was probably one of the most enjoyable assignments in the fitness industry that I have had the good fortune to undertake. I take great pride in my lesson preparation and am especially mindful of my student evaluations (as these are teachers themselves and are more qualified than most to make a judgement) that have consistently been between 4 and 5 out of 5. I lectured on the aerobic module for both specialist and generalist students.
