With over three decades of teaching experience, I have honed my methods to ensure that my students not only grasp the material but excel in their examinations. My approach to teaching is rooted in constructivist and discovery methods, which prioritize a deep understanding of concepts and active student engagement. This has been proven successful through the achievements of six of my Physics students who attained first place in the Cambridge examinations in South Africa.

My commitment to student-centered learning has been further demonstrated in my role as a quality assurance manager at Certified Online Academy in the UK. Here, I continue to contribute to the field of education by ensuring that our online learning platform meets the highest standards. I take great pleasure in utilizing simulation software to provide my students with a hands-on understanding of scientific principles, and have also become adept at using online testing software such as ClassMarker to assess their progress.

As I reflect on my career, I am proud of the impact I have made in shaping the academic journeys of countless students. It is my fervent belief that education should not only impart knowledge, but also foster a love for learning and critical thinking. I look forward to continuing to inspire and guide the next generation of learners, equipping them with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in an ever-evolving world.
