Recommendations

Arlene Mahood

Managed Jason At triOS College

Sept 2010 to Sept 2011
I heartily recommend Jason Louth as a candidate for a networking position. I was Jason's manager while he worked as a Network Technical Assistant (NTA) at the Kitchener Campus of triOS College from January 21 until my transfer to Mississauga in May 2011. Jason worked part time servicing our computer systems and network as well as proctoring exams and offering his help in any capacity needed. He ensured that emergency repairs were made and responded to our needs in a timely manner. He was patient and calm in the classroom, and his approach was always friendly with a good measure of humour, when appropriate. He was knowledgeable in all areas of the network and was highly respected by students and faculty alike. Jason always went the extra mile to ensure each task he completed was done thoroughly and well! Jason was organized and proved to be a dedicated NTA. He accomplished all tasks with professionalism, efficiency and initiative. His proactive approach to problem solving saved us time and money. We were particularly pleased with the NTA Operations Manual he proposed and wrote. His attitude was always supportive and positive. I recommend Jason to you without reservation.

Worked with Jason at triOS College

Sept 2010 to Sept 2011
Jason has one of the friendliest dispositions I have encountered, and it works as a great asset for him as a campus NTA. He has a knack for solving technical issues, and a willingness to accept and complete any challenge he's presented with. Jason would be a great asset to any company who chooses to work with him.

Padraig Dever

Reported To Jason At Haiquan School

2007-2010
“I have had the good fortune and pleasure of working with Jason Louth when he employed me for my current employer. As one of the most prominent, experienced and hard working teachers in the school he was working for at the time, Jason excelled in managing and developing teachers and setting benchmarks for others to aspire to. His dedication, work ethic and problem solving made him a pleasure to work with, and he was a loss to the company when he moved home to finish his education. Jason has an excellent ability to solve problems across cultural boundaries, as well as the ability to adapt to any situation and quickly resolve issues with both parties being content with the resolution .”

Jeffrey Bachynski

Worked Directly With Jason At Kang Jie Senior High School

2005-2008
Jason has continuously gone the extra mile to ensure that his students received the best education. At one point a number students started an online forum to choose the best teacher, and because of his extra effort and attention to detail, even l fell a short second to him, and I am proud of it. He does a good job, not because he is told to, but because he he has the integrity to know it is the right thing to do. That is what separates him from the pack.

Eric Robinson
