Richard Dyer

Mr Dyer taught mathematics in London before taking up his first international teaching position in Hong Kong in 1986. In the following three decades, he served in five British international schools in South East Asia, as Deputy Principal, Head Teacher and Principal. During that time he was involved in supporting schools in such areas as the improvement of self-evaluation processes, accelerated learning, drugs education, middle and senior leadership development programmes and performance management. He has taught on postgraduate level programmes for Head Teachers and Principals in association with universities in Hong Kong, Australia and England and has presented at education conferences worldwide. He is a Fellow Member of the College of Teachers and an inspector for the Independent Schools Inspectorate.

Mr Dyer is fascinated by learning and believes we are in an age where more is known about how children learn then ever before. With three internationally educated children of his own, he is committed to the values and principles of international education, believing that the young people of today are truly capable of fulfilling the mission of creating a better, more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.

Mr Dyer is in Budapest with his wife and youngest son, and enjoys the culture and countryside that the city and its surroundings offer. He cycles and plays badminton to keep fit and juggles balls and clubs to remind himself that we are all capable of learning something new.
