I am an enthusiastic, passionate, and experienced math, science, and engineering teacher with a knack for making complex concepts clear and engaging to learners at different levels and experiences. I have close to a decade of teaching experience, half of which is at the tertiary level, in addition to high school teaching experience. I have helped students of all abilities develop problem-solving, critical thinking, and numeracy skills. My teaching style is hands-on and interactive, incorporating real-world applications and technology to bring math, science, and engineering concepts to life. I use both online and face-to-face methods to teach. I teach by demonstration, but mostly I prefer the learning process to be student-centered, with comprehensive student work. I have testimonies from students that I have helped pass their high school exams. I have also assisted a lot of engineering students who are currently doing great in the coporate world.
I believe in fostering a supportive and encouraging classroom environment where students feel confident in their abilities and are motivated to explore the wonders of mathematics, science, and technology.
