Dr Peter Maulder

What do you love about your job? 

I love the fact that I get to be part of the development of many people in the classroom and out in the community through teaching, research, and practical engagement.

What do you enjoy most about being a tutor? 

I enjoy working with learners and seeing them grow in confidence regarding knowledge enhancement and application of that knowledge.

How would you describe your approach to teaching? 

I like to have learning objectives set that enable a student centred approach to achieving growth in an individualised manner.
