My Introduction ->

--> Teaching and Examiner experience
I have Eight years of full-time school teaching experience with the IBDP & CAIE Physics curriculum. I fulfill the esteemed roles as an Examiner for IBDP Physics HL, GCE A Level Physics, and CAIE A Level Paper 2 (9702). You would rarely find such broad experience as an Examiner in one profile!

--> Professional Development
I have completed Cat 1 and Cat 2 workshops conducted by IBO and “Extended Workshop for 9702 Physics” by CAIE to be an authentic teacher of IB and Cambridge pedagogy in school.

--> My Teaching Style
I believe that learning can be fun when you know its applications in real life and develop skills to be able to solve Exam-style questions on your own.

Before lessons:
1. I will identify your level of interest and prior knowledge of the subject.
2. Then I try to identify the learning barriers (through diagnostic tests and prompts)
3. I will identify the learning method liked by you (reading/visual presentation/through data analysis/deductive approach/simulation-based experiments or a combination of any of these strategies)
Based on this data I prepare very personalized lesson plans for each student.

My lessons include:
A. Diagnostic Test- I take a small quiz on prior knowledge.
B. Creating Interest- I share amazing facts and figures about the Physics concepts to make it look interesting to you.
C. I share the real-life connections of the concepts in the world around you and make you feel more connected.
D. Variation in teaching approaches/ methods - I prefer to break the monotony of the session by implementing multiple and varied teaching styles like
i. Attractive presentations on Google Slides with concept-related images, GIFs, and animations to make the concept visual.
ii. Simulation-based experiments to show the working of some Physics phenomena.
iii. Short video clips to show the working of some complex phenomena.
E. Digital technology: I use Images, GIFs, Animations, Simulations, and Physics memes.
F. Practice with Exam Style Questions from Past Papers.

So, do not hesitate to approach me and book a trial lesson!
