Who Is The Finance Teacher?

I’m Mark (The Finance Teacher). I am a teacher of Economics, Business and Personal Finance with over 20 years experience, mostly in international schools.  

Prior to becoming a teacher I worked in banking and finance in Australia. 

Something that still seems to be missing in most schools is the vital subject of personal finance. I am dedicated to changing that at my current school and to a larger extent through this website as well as through my newsletter.

When I was in my 20’s, I struggled financially, as I worked my way through university. I wish I had learnt all of this stuff then. Eventually though I found some answers. There are no real secrets, just knowledge that we all need to acquire in order to succeed. I hope you find that here!
