  • When did you develop an interest in your chosen field and in private tutoring?

    Economics and Business has always fascinated me and it felt like a tangible subject; I could see businesses and the economy operating each day, but what made them tick? I spent 8 years putting my academic learning to use in a finance career in London and Singapore and I can safely say no subject at school better equipped me for success in the real world than Economics and Business Studies!
  • Tell us more about the subject you teach, the topics you like to discuss with students (and possibly those you like a little less).

    The great thing about Economics and Business Studies is that practical examples are in our lives everyday. I love to bring topics by discussing real businesses, decisions by governments and what's going on in the news.
  • Did you have any role models; a teacher that inspired you?

    I had many great teachers when I was at school, but one that always comes to mind was my A Level Economics teacher, Mr Simmons. He had a great ability to bring course material to life with real world examples that gave the theories context. He also pushed us to understand concepts from every angle, not just learning what was on the page in an abstract manner, but to connect it to other parts of the syllabus and be able to rework it to address other questions and challenges.
  • What do you think are the qualities required to be a good tutor?

    The most important is a deep understanding of the course material and a passion for the subject. Coupled with that, a great tutor needs to be student focussed, patient and encouraging. Together, all of these things can have a huge positive impact on learning.
  • Provide a valuable anecdote related to your subject or your days at school.

    I was once told that to really learn a subject, you need to be able to teach it to others. I use this philosophy to help students really master a topic and be fully confident for exams - can you teach it back to me?
  • What were the difficulties or challenges you faced or still facing in your subject?

    A challenge Economics and Business Studies face is the continuously changing environment it is trying to explain; new business models, external influences and policies continually challenge the frameworks we look at and push us to rethink what we already know.
  • Do you have a particular passion? Is it teaching in general or an element of the subject or something completely different?

    My greatest passion in the subject is the application to the real world and bringing in examples. Having worked for 8 years in finance, I feel this is the most interesting part of the subject and where learning can be really brought to life.
  • What makes you a Superprof (besides answering these interview questions) ?

    My student focussed approach. My lessons always focus on the individual student and their situation with bespoke materials and approaches to ensure they get the most out of our sessions and achieve their full potential.
