About Us
At Food Tech Gurus, our aim is to provide Teachers and Students with the most creative and advanced way to Teach and Study Food Technology.
There are a lot of factors at play that led us along this journey, the most significant being the pressures on Teachers to perform and achieve under ever-increasingly difficult and challenging conditions every day.
There are so many reasons why a credible resource such as ours will be a valuable asset to Teachers, Students and Schools right across Australia. As Teachers, we think about everything we need to do in a day, a week and in a school year in order to get the results Schools and Families are looking for. There is simply not enough time in the day to rightfully get the results we all want.
Our Vision is to provide a tool for Teachers to use that will enable them to focus on Teaching, Student engagement and achieving results. Yes, planning and preparation are key, but if we can take much of the hard work away and provide more time to focus on your Teaching and Students, how good would that be?

“When I began teaching 25 years ago, I dreamed of creating a resource for Food Technology Teachers that would save time, align with the curriculum, and make life in the classroom easier. The name Food Tech Gurus was chosen because food Teachers truly are the Gurus—the experts shaping the future. I hope you enjoy this resource and that it supports and inspires your teaching.”
Brenton Hockley enjoyed a long and successful career in marketing, national and international business management followed by 22 years of ownership in small business focussed on training and skill development.
“Working with Tess, I quickly learnt about the ever-growing challenges faced by Teachers every day just getting the basics done. I could easily see and understand her vision of creating a Teaching and Learning Resource and the great benefit it would provide to Teachers and Students alike.”
As a lover of food with a passion for innovation and entrepreneurial opportunities, the creation of this Platform presented a wonderful opportunity to create something special.
“I hope that the use of our Platform will provide comprehensive support for your great Teaching thereby assisting your Students to take learning and enjoyment outcomes to a whole new level.”
We’d love to hear your feedback and comments about the Platform.
Our mission is to create a powerful and flexible resource that will develop and support your great work in and out of the Classroom.
We really look forward to working with you all to build skills and strength around this great subject of Food Technology.
