Kevin Amor

I currently tutor on B252 Financial Management and B874 Financial Decision-making. I have been an OU tutor since 2008 and have tutored many modules especially on the MBA. In 2017 I joined the OU full-time and am currently a senior lecturer in the department of accounting and finance.

I qualified as a Chartered Accountant (since resigned) and worked first in the property investment and development industry in various financial roles, including as director of various investment funds. I also spent some years as a management training consultant leading global senior management programmes for companies such as Unilever and British Airways. I have taught journalists at both the BBC and the Financial Times.

As well as teaching at the OU I have also studied here, getting both a BSc And MSc in Mathematics over the years.

I enjoy the flexibility and variety of working at the OU and the wide range of different people both as students and colleagues that one meets.

I spent my first year after qualifying as an accountant working in Bermuda. We wore pastel coloured blazers and Bermuda-shorts to work – I alternated between yellow and red ones. Quite the change from the City.
