His teaching style consists of a mixture of tutor-led PowerPoint-illustrated lectures, whole group discussions, small group practicals and pitched presentations which are then evaluated and given feedback by the rest of the class. He enjoys the collegial acquaintances that adult teaching enables him to experience, allowing him to go deeper into the understanding of the subject and being able to challenge current assumptions with his students.  Also, adult teaching has allowed him to develop new relevant relationshps that have subsequently resulted in scientific or business collaborations.
