The Tech-Ready Teacher Academy is led by Tristan Heron, Future-Ready Teaching Specialist and founder of Evolve EdTech.

Tristan has been teaching in primary and secondary schools since 2011 and holds a Bachelor of Education (K–12 Middle Schooling) from Charles Sturt University.

His passion for educational technology began early in his career, when he saw how tools like Moodle could transform engagement and learning - not by replacing good teaching, but by supporting it.

In 2025, Tristan and Evolve EdTech were recognised globally through the Corporate Vision Education and Training Awards, receiving the Leading Teacher EDTECH Training Initiative 2025 award.

Tristan understands what it’s like to teach in busy, complex classrooms — and believes edtech should feel empowering, not exhausting.
