Super patient, inspiring, creative teacher and career mentor (34 years experience). I will go to the ends of the earth to ensure students achieve good grades. My teaching is fun, cost-efficient, and jam-packed with detailed feedback. Your success is my chief concern. I achieved over 90% student feedback score (University of Western Canada), MBA course BUSI 601 and an 8.5+ score (RateMyProfessors.com). 85% or more of my students have passed my MBA courses, with many students achieving grades of A-A+. Solid student references are available on request.
