I have recently retired from a 40-year teaching career, the last 20 of which I have spent here in Hong Kong. I was appointed Head of Economics at ESF West Island School in 2002, then moved on to Harrow International School where I led the Ivy League & Oxbridge Admission Programs.

I gained my degree with Honours from Leeds University in 1983. I first taught Economics in the UK before moving to Australia in 1991, where I spent ten years at Christ Church Grammar School as the Head of Economics and Head of House.

I am proud of the exceptional results achieved by my students and am pleased to still be considered a trusted mentor by many. A number of these students are now studying Economics at the University of Cambridge, The London School of Economics, and the highly regarded Economics Program of the University of Chicago.

Career Highlights:

- Specialization in Edexcel A Level Economics and Business.
- Introduced Economics for the International Baccalaureate and IGCSE Economics to the ESF School.
- Recognized with the Outstanding Educator Award by the University of Chicago.

By request, I have begun private tutoring for a select number of students in Hong Kong, both face to face and via Skype. These sessions primarily focus on A Level and IB Economics, and I am also assisting these students with their university applications.

If you think I can help you with your Economic Studies, please get in touch, and we can work out a solution. I would be happy to hear from you. Read less

My teaching methodology is simple: thorough explanations of theory and concepts, backed up by real-life examples to provide context for the explanations. Through this approach, my students will acquire the ability to construct and analyze diagrams with great effectiveness. Our primary focus will be on developing the skills required to meet the assessment criteria, encompassing knowledge, application, analysis, and evaluation. Furthermore, during our consultation, I will carefully consider the unique needs of each student and collectively determine the most favourable path to their success. Read less
