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. Inspires me to learn more and helps me believe that it is possible to get a job in my desired industry. 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. He definitely gives a confidence boost to the students and is very enthusiastic about the course.. 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".. Taught discipline and professionalism to students when many of us come to university thinking it would be an easy ride.
