I have been very lucky to have taught such a wide array of classes as both a tutor and a lecturer. I also was able to supervise several undergraduate dissertations. These were particularly rewarding as I took care to guide my students through key historiographical and primary research.
Throughout my teaching career, I have been required to deliver a range of established teaching modules, conduct formal lectures, and guiding academic debate. Designed and implemented student assessments whilst demonstrating patience and innovatively explaining complex issues during supportive and engaging student sessions. Incorporated new pedagogical approaches and designed innovative tailored teaching materials while introducing students to a wide array of complex historical themes including international relations and politics, mental health, medicine and treatment, military history, disease and health, gender, power, and class.
