Teaching statement
I am responsible for teaching subjects primarily around quantitative methods and programming in Python for business analytics. I have experience in designing, delivering and coordinating modules at different levels (UG, PGT and PGR) with modules raning in size from 15 to 400 students. I use a range of teaching techniques (in class and on online platforms such as Blackboard) to ensure that lectures and seminars are not only informative but also as interactive and interesting as possible.
