What Our Clients Say About Us
Gail’s ability to shape and improve learning in a school is unmatched. She provided the key leadership that took a small relatively unknown school, The American School of Doha, with five hundred students to the status of a “lighthouse” school of over two thousand students that is recognized internationally as a top tier educational institution.
Ed Ladd
Former Director American School of Doha
When I reflect on the highlights of my ASD career, it is the amazing professional learning experiences I have had here that stand out. In fact, this is, in large part, what keeps me here. Professional learning here is well-thought out; it is grounded in our mission and vision and supports our strategic plan. I am grateful that ASD, under the leadership of Gail Seay, has invested so much in my professional career.

During her tenure in consulting at AISM, Gail consistently demonstrated a deep commitment to facilitating the growth and development of our teachers and Board members. She understood the school’s trajectory of growth towards curriculum development and met us where we were. Gail’s exceptional communication skills, adaptability, and dedication have had a significant impact on our faculty and Board.
As a curriculum trainer, Gail possesses a keen eye for detail and a strategic approach to curriculum design and development. She has successfully designed and implemented comprehensive training materials that have not only met but exceeded AISM’s objectives.
She is approachable, empathetic, and readily establishes a strong rapport with the trainees and colleagues alike. Her capacity to create a positive and inclusive learning environment fosters a sense of camaraderie among participants, encouraging collaboration and the sharing of ideas. As a Board trainer Gail won the confidence of our school Board members, that needed to come together to continue the good work that had begun.

Anita Reilly
Middle School Curriculum Coordinator
I’ve attended a number of professional development workshops on how best to cater for EAL/D students over a number of years with Lynette. There is always a really good balance of theory and practical scenarios as well as takeaway resources, all of which helped in my approach to classroom teaching across all secondary year levels. I would highly recommend any teacher to engage with any of Lynette’s professional development opportunities.

I have known Anita Reilly as an outstanding educator for many years. Her thorough understanding of the AERO Social Studies standards, and her ability to lead teachers through the implementation of curriculum change, has been profoundly impactful. Anita's passion for teacher development and for building consistency across the school has strongly strengthened the learning environment for both students and teachers.

What sets Colby apart is not just his leadership, but his unique perspective as a third culture kid... he's not just a supervisor but a coach, motivating and equipping us for our future endeavors, both within (school) and beyond.
