Neil Fleming 

We are deeply saddened to announce the death of the Founder of VARK.  Neil Fleming died on June 16 2022 suddenly at his home in Christchurch New Zealand aged 82 years old.  The team at VARK has lost a great leader, teacher, and mentor.  Neil lived his life to the end with great empathy, integrity, generosity, and humor, and will be sadly missed by many.

VARK-Learn will remain in the very safe hands of Neil’s daughter, Carol Cadigan, who has long been involved with VARK and who assumed overall responsibility earlier this year. Carol will continue to lead with the same dedication and integrity as Neil.
