Ian is the microeconomics enthusiast within the department and has a particular fondness for Transport Economics. He has a BA (Hons) in Economics, a P.G.C.E. and is one of a fairly select bunch to have a MA (Ed) in Economics Education.  He is an experienced GCSE and ‘A’ level examiner having worked with both Edexcel and, for many years, with OCR.

Ruben graduated from Warwick University in 2007 and has been teaching Economics since then. He is currently an examiner for AQA, OCR and a team leader for Edexcel.  He is very interested in finding new ways of introducing e-learning when teaching Economics.  He says the best day of the year for him is results day because it is so rewarding to see his students achieve their full potential during their examinations. Outside of work he enjoys football (although a Chelsea supporter).
