Summary

Trained physics teacher, with my focus and strategy being lab based. My educational philosophy is that the students must discover the ideas of physics themselves in order to fully integrate this into their base of knowledge. This is in line with the ISLE philosophy, spear headed by Dr. Eugneia Etkina. Over my employment experience I have developed a wide range of skills for working with a diverse range of student populations.
