Empowering Educators to Master Educational Technology and Grow Their Professional Practice.

With Evolve EdTech and the Empowered Educator Hub — I help educators confidently embrace educational technology to create engaging, future-ready classrooms without the overwhelm.

MEET TRISTAN

A teacher who gets it — because he's still in it.

Hey, I’m Tristan Heron — an Education Innovation & Growth Specialist and the founder of Evolve EdTech and the Empowered Educator Hub.

I’ve been teaching in primary and secondary schools since 2011, and I understand the realities of busy, complex classrooms. My passion for educational technology began early in my career, when I saw how the right tools could strengthen engagement and learning — not replace good teaching, but support it.

That led me to found Evolve EdTech and build the Empowered Educator Hub — a professional learning space built to help educators grow their skills, their confidence, and their impact inside and beyond the classroom.

Education is evolving. I’m here to help you lead it with clarity and purpose.
