Marcus is a brigfht and intuitive instructor who applies real world
applications to everything he teaches. He not only is patient but is
very clear as to what his take on all aspects of his knowledge are and
is willing to research an area he himself has yet to cover.

His teaching style is open and communicative and leaves no one in the
class behind adapting to all levels of knowledge with ease. His manner
is inclusive and leaves the student with a sense of achievment at the
end of the course.

Overall Marcus is a great knowledge enabler and a good teacher I
highly recomemend his services.

Mike Archer – SAE Institute – PHP & MySQL – 2007

“Mog introduced me to PHP & MySQL in 2007 at SAE International Institute,
London. His highly professional / personable, proactive ‘hands on’ teaching
style enabled me to get to grips with the subject very quickly. Mog is an
extremely dedicated and enthusiastic teacher and has seemingly unlimited
amounts of energy and passion for all multimedia. Our lectures were always
informative and inspiring, packed full of current real life industry
examples, which were always delivered in a style that made learning an
enjoyable, challenging and thought provoking experience – cheers for all of
your did to help with my career Mog – Mike Archer, multimedia designer”

Mike Peters – SAE Institute – PHP & MySQL – 2007

When Mog started teaching us, the whole class was pretty demoralised by the previous module (Flash/ActionScript) which had not been taught well. However Mog’s very positive attitude soon turned this around and we cantered through PHP/SQL/MySQL using some practical and useful exercises like login, upload, and content management. As well as knowing PHP/MySQL and web techniques in general,  Mog is very good at relating all this to the real world, and the sessions on customising open source packages like ModX and on Flash Video were particularly interesting. All in all, Mog is a good lecturer and made the module enjoyable, the class will miss him!

It’s been a great time at SAE Institute London during my diploma course. Having you as a teacher and mentor was a real privilege. All students are very impressed with your knowledge, experience within Multimedia.
I like the way you teach and make a study enjoyable. Being very “down to earth” and easy to talk tutor. Always with a sense of humour and able to turn things up side down to make us understand. I’ve completed my diploma with a good mark because I was lucky to have you as a lecturer during my study. Therefore I’ll be always very obliged.
All the best for your future on the other side of the globe.

Mog is an excellent teacher with a very practical approach to
teaching, as a result the student gains skills that will prepare the
student to start working in the industry immediately. One of the
advantages of having Marcus as a teacher is that he is willing to
teach you something until your really learn it, even if this means
giving you a tutorial if you are having difficulties, or if you are
doing something a little more advanced than the average student.
Another advantage is the quality audio/visual elements of his
lectures, I still use his lectures slideshows as reference when I’m
working on a project, and even some of his diagrams to explain
concepts to clients.

Mog es un excellente profesor con un metodo de ensenanza que se
enfoca mucho en lo practico, y de resultado el alumno adquiere
habilidades que preparan al alumno para empezar a trabajar en la
industria inmediatamente. Una de las ventajas de tener a Mog como
profesor es que siempre esta dispuesto a ensenarte algo hasta que lo
aprendas asi esto signifique que darte un tutorial personal si estas
teniendo dificultades o si estas haciendo algo un poco mas avanzado
que el alumno comun. Otra ventaja son los excellentes elementos audio/
visuales en sus clases, yo todavia uso varias de sus  diapositivas
como referencia cuando estoy trabajando en proyectos, incluso hasta
uso algunos de sus diagramas para explicar conceptos a clientes.

Маркус был моим преподавателем 3D анимации и PHP программирования, в течении полугода моего обучения в SAE Iinsitute в Лондоне. Я с удовольствуем могу сказать что Маркус был одним из лучших учителей с которыми мне когда -либо приходилось работать. Оптимизм, терпение и хорошее чувство юмора длаюет его  исклучительно эффективным преподаветелем. Он с легкостью преподносит самый цложный материал и без всякого труда всегда в состоянии обьяснить абстактные идеи. Даже теперь,  когда у меня есть какие-либо вопросы я могу положиться на Маркуса в лубое время суток. Каким-то образом он всегда находит время чтоб помочь мне с любыми техническими трудностями и ответить на мои вопросы. Я всегда буду ему блогадарна за все знания и помощь.

Marcus taught me 3d and PHP programming during my time at SAE Institute in London, where I took a course in multimedia arts. I can honestly say that he has been one of the best teachers I have ever had to work with. Optimism, patience and a great sense of humour make him an exceptionally effective teacher. He can effortlessly present the most complicated material in a clear and understandable way, and can always easily explain  abstract concepts and ideas. Even upon completing the course, I know that I can rely on Marcus to help me with any questions  or technical difficulties I may have. Somehow, he always finds the time to help me with any technical questions. I shall always be grateful for all the knowledge and help he has given me

Jamaine Spooner – SAE Institute – PHP & MySQL – 2006

My experience of Mog as a tutor has been a very good one, having taught
me PHP and MySQL as part of the SAE web design and development diploma
he has helped take me from an absolute programming novice to someone
who now has a solid foundation and a deep interest in progressing in
this field. Mog was always helpful during and outside of class, where
he always ensured he made time for either through emails or tutorials.
As well as curricular topics I feel Mog has been very willing to look
at other areas and topics for the benefit of the students.
Overall I feel Mog has been a very  knowledgeable teacher who has shown
that he cares about his students and in helping them in achieving their
goals.

Mogs lectures were always very clear and upbeat .He always encouraged the
students to be vocal and created an atmosphere in which you were comfortable
to ask questions if you were finding a subject confusing.  He definitely
went the extra mile to help you make the most of your creativity.

Kevin Van Reenen – SAE Institute – 3D Animation / PHP & MySQL – 2005/2006

Mog, for me, is a great inspiration. What I like about Mog is his
enthusiasm to help and guide you whenever and wherever he can. What I
also like about Mog is that he is genuinely honest and blazingly to the
point in his opinions. The fact that he has a passion for what he does
(which is actually quite a long list of things!) makes Mog “Mog”, and
that is very visible in the way that he teaches and the energy he gave
me as a student.
