Personal Statement

Academically trained as a mathematical physicist, I have a strong passion for facilitating learners to fully realise their potential in Physics and Mathematics. Having transitioned from my previous teacher-centric teaching style, I have come to particularly value and encourage students' active role in teaching and learning.
