    Husamettin Kocaturkmen

    Business Tutor

    With a First-Class BA (Hons) degree in International Tourism and Business Management, I bring both academic expertise and hands-on industry experience to the classroom. Over the past four years, I have been teaching and inspiring students in various business disciplines, including customer service, finance, marketing, and event management. Before becoming a lecturer, I gained valuable experience in retail and hospitality management in the UK & abroad, which allows me to share real-life industry insights that enrich my students’ learning experience. I am passionate about business and enjoy connecting theory with practice to prepare students for their future careers. I am particularly excited to support the launch of our T Level in Business Management and Administration and look forward to continuing to work collaboratively with our fantastic team to deliver high-quality education. Teaching is not just my profession—it’s my passion, and I truly enjoy helping our students achieve their goals and aspirations.

    Peter Cunningham

    Business Tutor

    I studied Hotel management at Carlisle College after I left Trinity, and moved south to work in the hotel industry for several years before moving to airport passenger catering at London Stansted Airport. I developed my career working in area manager roles for Greene King, Whitbread, Starbucks, and most recently Odeon Cinemas where I was area manager for East Scotland. I made the move to education for a variety of reasons, the main one being my belief that I had so much to offer new students by way of industry knowledge that could help provide context to my lessons. Hilary Clinton said “Don’t confuse having a career with having a life” and this is a belief I subscribe to, and working at this college allows me to achieve the correct work-life balance in a job that gives me more satisfaction and sense of achievement than any other job I have had.

    Computing and Business Tutor

    I began working at Carlisle college during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, and since then I have taught across level 1 & 2 courses all the way up to our degree courses in both Computing and Business. Before joining the college, I have worked in a range of different industries including retail, hospitality, marketing, and management. Alongside this, I have also continued my own education and gained qualifications which include a BA (Hons) Performing Arts, and an MSc in Business Management and Finance. Working in education is something I love doing, because it allows me to build connections with learners and see them flourish in a subject they are passionate about.

    Progress Coach

    I am a Progress Coach and member of the Safeguarding Team, and it is my job to ensure all students feel safe in college. I monitor attendance and support students during their college career. One project I am working on is our “End Hate” campaign to help educate against discrimination. I enjoy travelling. I spent about a year working as an ESOL teacher in Senegal and another year travelling in North America. I have an MA in Politics from the University of Glasgow and now I am looking to help and support others in their journey through education.

    I'm so grateful for my experience at Carlisle College, especially for the new friendships I've made, and many group projects that have helped me grow as a person. My time doing L3 Business has played a key role in shaping who I am today, and given me confidence to continue my progress at Northumbria University!
