I’m a passionate geologist who loves teaching and sharing knowledge. My expertise is in exploration geology, marine geology, mining, geochemistry, and geostatistics, but I enjoy diving into all kinds of geological topics and have a broad academic background from studying in three different countries. I enjoy discussing interesting subjects, encouraging curiosity, and helping others understand complex ideas in a clear and relatable way. When I teach, I focus on making learning engaging and interactive. Whether it’s covering the basics of geology or exploring more advanced topics like mineral exploration, I adjust my approach to suit each student’s needs. I use practical examples and open discussions to create a comfortable space for questions and curiosity, making learning both effective and enjoyable. For me, teaching isn’t just about sharing facts—it’s about inspiring others to see the world through a geological lens. If you have studied geology long enough, you will see nature and landscapes around you with different eyes. I aim to make geology accessible, exciting, and something students can connect with on a deeper level. I have almost 2 years of professional working experience as a geologist, primarily in exploration geology, as well as a masters degree in geology. In addition to my geological expertise, I have over a year of experience as a teacher. I have worked as an online substitute teacher for students aged 11 to 15 and as a geology tutor, guiding new students in introductory geology courses during my bachelor’s studies.
