• When and why did you develop an interest in your chosen field?

  Probably from watching Jordan Belfort and the Wolf of Wall Street, I became quite interested in the fascinating and exciting side of the stock market and how money dominates the world. I have continued to study finance and economics because I am very curious about how the world functions and I am continuously amused to learn more about the underlying dynamics - the psychology, the madness, and the efficiencies that have created our Modern World.

• What makes you passionate about your subject?

  I am passionate about learning how history has developed to this point in our understanding of the philosophy and economics of the world, from Adam Smith to John Maynard Keynes and through to Milton Friedman and beyond. We have gained a lot of insights about the world yet the same problems keep recurring and we continuously tinker between the right mix of monetary and fiscal policy, regulation and taxation. Along the way, many crises have developed and there has been a tremendous amount to learn from. Looking ahead, I am excited to see how cryptocurrencies may impact global finance and whether they will disrupt the industry in meaningful ways.

• What do you like about tutoring? What makes you a "Superprof"?

  I genuinely enjoy helping people from the moment where they have an interest but some confusion through to that "aha!" moment where it begins to all make sense. My tutoring style continuously evolves from the feedback I get from students and learning about what teaching style works and I am passionate about learning and growing so I can provide a best-in-class experience for you to do well in your studies and enjoy what you're learning.
  I believe tutoring should be a two-way conversation and I want to keep you engaged and interested in the topic being discussed; this comes from mutual trust, understanding, and appreciation for one another.

• Do you have any role models; a teacher that inspired you? Please explain.

  I have since returned to college and I am studying to become a Wind Turbine Technician. During my present studies, our program coordinator has become a role model because he is an exceptionally patient and understanding teacher, knows his material well, and is passionate about supporting our learning. Not only did he support my academic trip to Ireland and support the creation of a school club, "The Wind Breakers", Ryan has gone above and beyond to help in my studies prior to exams and is constantly available to help me through any difficult material.

• What are your keys to success?

  My keys to success are empathy, patience, understanding and enthusiasm.
