Dr Zainab Kazim Ali

Biography

I have been teaching Mathematics and Statistics at university level for over 20 years since completing my PhD in Mathematics at the University of Manchester.  My teaching experience extends to teaching students who are not only passionate about studying Mathematics but also to teaching students who didn’t want to study Mathematics or who struggled with it.  As a result, I make sure that my lectures are broken down into simple steps to make them easy to understand.  In 2019, I was nominated for a MDXSU Student Led Teaching Award by students for ‘Academic Staff Member of the Year – Business, Most Inspiring Teacher and Outstanding Commitment to Employability’.
