Hello and thank you for taking the time to explore my profile.

🔧;; With a solid 4-year background at sea in the Merchant Navy as a professional engineer and an impressive 4-year stint as a dedicated college lecturer in Glasgow, I bring a unique blend of hands-on experience and teaching expertise to the table.

🎓;; Beyond my formal teaching qualifications (including the PDA for Teaching in Scotland’s Colleges and Teaching Qualification for Further Education from the University of Aberdeen), I hold a distinguished BSc Degree in Psychology (2.1) from the University of Dundee, along with an HNC in Social Sciences from Dundee College and an HND in Marine Engineering from City of Glasgow College.

🧾;; My academic prowess shines through accolades in both Psychology and Engineering: I`ve been recognized with the Institute of Marine Engineering Science and Technology certificate for the best college project (2016), the coveted Principles Prize for Outstanding Academic Achievement (2016), The Reg Laville Memorial Prize for an exceptionally meritorious dissertation (2012), the prestigious British Psychology Society Undergraduate Award for top-tier performance (2012), and The British Psychological Society Award for Undergraduate Psychology (2012).

🏭;; My journey through industry, academia, and education equips me to not only cover a diverse array of subjects but also to infuse a wealth of personal experiences into captivating lessons. I pride myself on not just explaining the "what" and "how," but delving into the crucial "why" behind essential concepts and theories.

💪;; As a dedicated advocate for learners` success, I thrive on tailoring guidance and mentorship to individual learning styles. My background in psychology empowers me to cultivate positive study habits, nurture effective routines, and foster an environment conducive to both learning and mental well-being.

As a former lecturer, I`ve meticulously curated a treasure trove of notes, presentations, and tutorial exercises. This resource isn`t just available—it`s tailored to your learning journey. I go beyond the conventional, drawing from my own reservoir of materials to elevate your learning experience. Additionally, crafting college SQA assessments during my tenure positions me uniquely to decipher "what the marker is looking for."
