Biography

I have been teaching Mathematics and Statistics atuniversity level for over 20 years since completing my PhD in Mathematics atthe University of Manchester.  Myteaching experience extends to teaching students who are not only passionateabout studying Mathematics but also to teaching students who didn’t want tostudy Mathematics or who struggled with it. As a result, I make sure that my lectures are broken down into simplesteps to make them easy to understand. In 2019, I was nominated for a MDXSU Student Led Teaching Award bystudents for ‘Academic Staff Member of the Year – Business, Most InspiringTeacher and Outstanding Commitment to Employability’.
