Ger Robinson
Since 2013, Ger has been an integral part of The Super Generation team, contributing to both the development and delivery of seminar content. Ger is pursuing a PhD in Philosophy at UCD and recognises the crucial role that self-discipline and work ethic play in achieving academic success. His seminars focus on empowering students to actualise their potential and achieve their goals in all areas of life.
Ger's passion for education, learning, and knowledge stems from his belief in their transformative power. He finds motivation in helping students cultivate the right mindset, and has seen first-hand how raising awareness of its importance can lead to positive change. For Ger, teaching is a collaborative effort where he learns just as much from his students and fellow educators as they learn from him.
