About Me:

My background is electronic engineering, but since graduating I have done different activities and work, apart from a stint at teaching mathematics. Outside work my interests are studying history and occasional travelling. My favourite programs are The Business Channel, The Apprentice, and Top Gear. Although I enjoy watching snooker a lot, this years' final was an anticlimax! Still good to watch...

Aside various employment posts, I did do some volunteer work at charities such as The Prince's Trust, and Environmental Vision. I am on the Management Committee of Longbridge Advice and Resource Centre (LARC) which provides help for making CV, attending interviews and writing application forms. LARC provided support when former employees of Rover became redundant after the local plant closed.

I did teach mathematics on placements and part of doing a PGCE course is learning about Pedagogy (how to teach) and discussing HOW people learn. Very interesting I assure you.

General:

I enjoy reading about Paleontology, Physics, History, Geopolitics and studying Mathematics. If 'Paleoanthropology' is a bit cumbersome here is a short introduction Paleontology: The study of prehistoric life forms. Anthropology: The study of humanity. Paleoanthropology: The study of prehistoric humans. Talking about Anthropology, I am also very interested in the history of language and for those who are interested I strongly recommend EMPIRES OF THE WORD A Language History of the World by Nicholas Ostler.
