Changed my perspective about life and knowledge in the good way. And made me understand that life is a learning process and always have a "never to give in attitude". Fantastic enthusiasm with an infectious delight for the subject. He is really passionate about what he does and it makes me as a student want to be like that too. Taught discipline and professionalism to students when many of us come to university thinking it would be an easy ride. . Always has a trick up his sleeve, relaxes the students and inspires them to imbue their own pupils with an awe and wonder of the world. Inspires me to learn more and helps me believe that it is possible to get a job in my desired industry. He definitely gives a confidence boost to the students and is very enthusiastic about the course..
