I started my sojourn at SBCS in 2001 and during September 2005 I began lecturing in the Edinburgh Business School, Heriot-Watt University Masters in Business Administration programme in two subject areas: Economics and Quantitative Methods. I continue to lecture to the Economics students pursuing their MBA. During the past seven years I have lectured on a wide range of units and programmes for the London School of Economics and Political Science (University of London), ABE, and Edexcel to name a few. My students are usually from different disciplines and backgrounds with most eager to learn a new skill and working assiduously to secure a good grade in the relevant examinations. At the MBA level the students usually exhibit a passion for knowledge and demonstrate the right attitude to learning.

I enjoy lecturing at SBCS. The SBCS family contributes significantly to creating a learning environment and this makes my teaching more like worship rather than work. There are memorable experiences in each class but the greatest reward is when students commend you for excellent work and remark that your subject was the best in the programme. Congratulations to SBCS on its 25th Anniversary! Keep up the excellent work! Continue creating life-long learners with a drive for excellence and a passion for challenge.
I began lecturing at SBCS July 3, 2003. Since then, I have lectured on many units for various programmes including ACCA, ABE, Edexcel, Royal Holloway (University of London) and the University of Greenwich. The majority of our students have a passion to succeed and are eager to learn and achieve. I trace my reason for becoming a lecturer to the day I was taken to school when I was only 12 months old by a teenaged aunt, who was a junior teacher. I think from that first week my heart was made up. Teaching would be my lifelong passion, my dream. One of my most memorable classroom experiences was when I replied to a “Thank You” speech on the last day of a certain class. I told the class how much I appreciated them because they were “therapeutic”. The good; the bad; the lazy; the diligent; the less-than-average and the brilliant. There was a short silence then the whole class gave me a standing ovation. I did not think I had said anything special, but for some reason the class thought so. I had simply spoken from my heart. I would like SBCS to continue on its established road of pursuing and delivering excellence. This encourages me as a lecturer to always “put my best foot forward and go the extra mile” even through difficult situations in my personal life. Zorida Ali-Hassan
It was 2001 when I started lecturing at SBCS and my first attempt at lecturing was for the ABE Diploma 2 where I was selected to do the Management subject. As the years went by, my lecturing experience was directed to the field of Marketing adding ABE Diploma 2 Marketing, Chartered Institute Marketing and currently areas of Marketing within the Masters programmes offered by Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh Business School. The student cross sections that I have had the pleasure to encounter have one major thing in common, which is the desire to learn and a keen interest in self-development. Imparting knowledge to aspiring professionals continues to be a major inspiration in my continuing lecturing endeavours. I wish to take this opportunity to extend best wishes to SBCS on achieving 25 years and to express my continued commitment to contributing to the delivery of the highest quality education experience to all students as part of the SBCS team.
