A confident, enthusiastic and hardworking physics teacher who is able to teach high school
students whilst at the same time encourage them to develop their skills, knowledge and
confidence. My study of engineering physics at the undergraduate and applied geophysics
at the graduate levels have equipped me with advanced knowledge and practical skills in the
subject matter, possessing extensive knowledge of contemporary teaching methods and a
genuine interest in educating others. I have exceptional ability with applying quantitative
reasoning and problem-solving approaches. I am an enthusiastic and excellent classroom
practitioner who values each pupil as an individual and will always ensure that every
student get the best in every lessons.

My undergraduate education has helped me to develop fundamental knowledge of diverse
contents in physics subject such as: experimental physics, numerical analysis, energy and society, introductory nuclear engineering, classical mechanics, mechanics, electricity, applied electricity, electronics engineering, modern physics, mathematical methods, mathematical physics, computing, workshop practise, engineering materials, optics, mechanics, polymer science, thermodynamics and kinetic theory, solar energy, X-ray techniques, micro-electronics, electromagnetism, statistical physics, solid state physics, electromagnetic waves, mechanical behaviour of solids, electrical, optical and magnetic properties of solid.

In over 15 years of teaching, I have come to understand that teaching is both intellectually and emotionally demanding. I have gained the capability of managing challenging behaviour, keeping up with marking and paperwork, handling stress and taking a caring, responsible approach to pupils' problems. Also in this 21st century teaching, my training had improved theoretical thinking and problem Solving capability of my students. I teach students to be able to apply knowledge gained in solving exams questions and practical questions with ease.

The joy that I experienced impacting and enriching student’s lives, not just teaching Physics but also guiding them in the areas of responsibility, analytical skills, and building self-confidence is immeasurable. Helping to influence their future by giving them the skills and confidence they need to go out into the world and succeed. Teaching is quite rewarding, skills developed are transferable as it allows me to become educators in any location, work-life balance, collaboration which includes making use of innovative technology that helps teachers develop strategies that provide access to learning for all students.
