Louise

I have just completed a year long PGCE teaching Business and Economics up to A-level and have a job at a sixth form college starting in September.
I have over thirty years experience working in the city as a stockbroker at Goldman Sachs and as a business and economics journalist at the BBC.
I have a first class honours degree from CASS business school and have passed the Chartered Financial Analyst qualification, a three year programme of sell study, equivalent to a Masters in Finance, Business and Economics.
My teaching ethos is to make wide use of real world case studies, to use concrete examples to explain the abstract. I love my subjects and that enthusiasm is key to motivating my pupils.
