Teaching Aspirations

"To be a role model – first, as a teacher who not only stretches the students, but inspires them, mentors them, and helps them to grow and realise their potential; second, as a colleague who contributes to a balanced culture of education and research excellence in the University; and third, as a competent trainer who integrates theory with practice to promote life-long learning in the discipline of real estate."

Teaching Strengths

  • Creates novelty and variety in the classroom with a good mix of guest lectures, problem-based learning sessions, role-play exercises and case studies, online forums, external seminars and informal sessions to meet industry leaders.

  • Versatile and able to teach a broad range of topics to undergraduates, graduate students and industry professionals.
