Learning Styles

I like varying the styles to catch every student's interest. I am currently teaching Cost Control and I split up the class time between lectures with power point presentation, seat work, work experience sharing and board work. This way, I am able to gauge the student's grasp of the subject matter and am able to identify who I need to do one-on-one work with.

Industry experts

For some of my classes, I invite alumni who are successful in the industry as models for my students. It gives the course relevancy and they pick up tips and cues as to how to further their own careers in the industry.
