Is there any difference between the students in Dulwich Zhuhai and your previous students?

I see more opportunities and avenues for the students at DHCZH. They always want to learn more and have a thirst for curiosity that underpins every Chemistry Lesson. In my interactions and perception, I have the feeling that students here are very motivated and driven for the pursuit of excellence.

What research are you currently pursuing regarding teaching pedagogy?

21stCentury: Innovative Teaching methods.

How is this research affecting you in class pedagogy?

Using OneNote is digital powerhouse and quite engaging for students. Along with that using Kahoot, Edmodo would increase classroom presence and interaction.To inform, inspire, and to ignite is my goal as we explore the realm of science. I believe students learn science by doing science, and that my classes are a medium through which my students will learn life skills that are critical for their success in college and future careers. As our students must be prepared to work cooperatively in a global and technological society where many of them will eventually hold jobs that may not yet exist, I emphasize critical thinking and problem solving, using our science content to develop good evidence-based reasoning and communication skills.

What advice would you give to students to succeed in your subject?

Don't be afraid to ask questions/for help and get organized early!

Finally, what do you find most rewarding about being a teacher?

I think Teaching is a form of magic. It is alchemy in which we try to help young people find the gold within them. We get to ignite a spark, celebrate milestones, make positive impact on lives, inspireinner creativity and potential. Every day is an exciting day for me.
