Information About Michael:

Personal Description:

I was schooled at Gordonstoun.

At the University of Glasgow I was awarded prizes, medals and a bursary for coming first in my class in both Maths and Natural Philosophy (Physics).

Currently married, I have an adult daughter from a previous marriage who lives in Australia.

I migrated to Australia in 1986, built an eco home and planted thousands of trees.

In 1989 I became a Chartered Engineer through the British Computer Society.

Outside of work my interests include Sailing, Skiing, Dancing and Family History.

Teaching Experience:

I first taught 'O' level maths in 1968.

For the past 10 years I've been a lecturer and tutor on a masters level business programme focused on sustainability.

Tutoring Approach:

I support and encourage tutees to figure answers out for themselves. This is an essential skill both for self directed learning and for life. I also use this approach in marking.

I set homework tasks which I expect to be completed by the agreed date. In return you can expect assignments to be marked and returned by an agreed date.

Qualifications:

• 1972: BSc Civil Engineering - University of Glasgow (Bachelors)
• 1974: MPhil Town & Regional Planning - University of Glasgow (Masters)
• 1981: PhD in Energy Research - The Open University (Doctorate)
