Teaching Aspirations

"To teach is to learn; it is a two-way channel between teacher and student. Aristotle said it best when he referred to teaching as ’the highest form of understanding’. From the ingenuity of my students’ questions and projects, I have learnt so much and am encouraged to continue piquing their interest in physics and imparting wisdom through what Nature offers."

Teaching Strengths

  • Nurtures students to think critically and explore new ideas by posing unique and intriguing questions
  • Encourages learning beyond the classroom by organising enrichment activities such as astronomy field trips and celestial observation sessions to help students bridge theory and practice
  • Presents abstract topics in an accessible and coherent way
  • Makes physics concepts come to life through the use of multimedia and ‘live' demonstrations as well as examples from everyday life

Teaching Awards / Accolades

  • NUS Annual Teaching Excellence Award (2009/8)
  • Faculty Teaching Excellence Award (2008/7, 2007/6, 2006/5); Honours Roll (2009/8)
