I am a British Professor and I hold a PhD in biological chemistry from the university of Essex, UK. I have over 30 years of teaching and lecturing Biology and Chemistry at universities and schools both in Europe and the Middle East. I also have a great interest in environmental research development as well as having a good experience in advising students to decide which university course to undertake.
I adopt a simple a teaching philosophy that worked every single time. It involves raising students morale and inspiring them to learn with no fear of the examination. I always relate the knowledge delivered to some real life practical situation which makes it a lot easier for the student to comprehend the concept if the idea and isolate all dry and abstract notions that might be associated with it.
I speak five languages and have travelled to over 90 countries around the world including a 20 000 Km tour by bicycle.
