About me - MaxBruges.com

It's nice to meet you

A picture of me, Max Bruges aside It’s me, Max Bruges

…though unless you’re very tenacious with your Googling, we’ve probably met already^[1].

I’m Max Bruges: an education specialist with a technology background, and a passion for using tech to transform the way we teach and learn.

I have been Head of English for a few years now, long enough to know that we can always be doing more to experiment and improve. Hopefully, what you find here will help you to do just that.

I first built this website largely as a place to practice my coding and to learn new skills (the details of which I will bore you with here on the blog). What started as some shoddily handcrafted HTML has now grown into something a bit more substantial.

Poke around!

🧪 Try some experiments, from games to AI-powered writing tools and a virtual librarian.
👨‍🏫 Flick through some of my past lessons and worksheets
🔴 You can even join a live lesson, if I’m teaching right now!

If you’d like to chat, you can drop me an email 📬 or find me on LinkedIn.

Special, open-source thanks go to:

Team Zola for the best Static Site Generator in the game.
HfG’s talented design students building the OpenMoji project, specifically for the gorgeous SVG rendering of Agatha that graces the homepage.
unDraw, providing the illustrations you can see on a few of the pages.

I may also look vaguely familiar if you’re a connoisseur of mid-afternoon television quiz shows and/or Egyptian historical dramas ↩
