I worked as a chemistry analyst at a reputable pharmaceutical company for two years, after which I was made the head of the laboratory, I am still currently holding the position.
Before going professional in laboratory analytics, I had a one-year experience in teaching. I taught mathematics for Form III students in secondary school (regarded as a high school in the UK) and Chemistry for Form IV students.
The teaching continued even as a professional as I still hold sessions with students on Industrial Training/Attachment in the company, both on theoretical and for the most part, the Practical aspect of Analytical Chemistry.
I am very passionate about seeking and imparting knowledge, and I believe knowledge only matters when shared, as nobody knows it all.
Furthermore, my company runs a three Shift par day with an exemption on weekends. In addition, I also choose my shift, so as I am flexible with my time, it will be a pleasure to share with the young ones the hidden tricks there are in understanding chemistry perfectly.
The Renewed Interest in teaching came when someone asked me a question "with what you know now, what can you do differently if you go back to your school days?", it struck me. Still, since I cannot go back in time, I would like to use this opportunity I have (as I am now flexible with time) to do the thing I have passion for.
I am almost ending my part-time master’s degree study in Biochemistry, the coursework and Projects have all been completed, and I am just about finishing the write-ups involved.
My computer literacy is excellent, and I can easily employ visual tools to drive home lessons, as graphics tell a kind story on their own, giving a better understanding to my teaching.
