I am originally from Melbourne, Australia having taught at University and Community College level over many years. I have a Masters degree in Australian/Greek history from RMIT University and an undergraduate degree with a double major in political science/economic history from Deakin University. My academic background is in Australian, European and Middle Eastern history. At times I taught subjects outside of my prime areas of expertise in sociology, economics and business studies.My teaching style emphasizes in bringing out the best in students so that they can achieve their fullest potential. I encourage students to be critical and analytical in their research and writing. This helps to develop creativity and originality with written assignments. I also taught students different research methods and strategies in order to achieve quality driven written work.I am also a published author having written many articles in my prime area of expertise.
