My Beliefs

Students are like stones. Every student comes into class from a different background and with a different experience, just as every stone comes in a different state, and with a different cut. Some are covered in grime, others in dirt, and still others scratched or badly damaged. They are often undervalued by others and themselves. To the untrained eye, these stones are nothing more than mere stones, not worthy to be picked and polished.

An educator is like a jeweler who recognises the worth of these "stones", and identifies them as gems even while they are in their broken, dirty and unpolished state. The educator believes in their value and potential and starts repairing and polishing each of these stones bit by bit, day by day, so that over time, they can shine at their brightest, in ways unique to themselves.

My Focus

Through my lessons, I strive to ignite interest and encourage critical thinking, instead of having students passively "download" content, so that they can become independent, interested and invested learners who take charge of their own learning.

More importantly, I place a strong focus on grooming students to become fine young men and women, equipped with an acute mind and sound character, to be loving towards others around them, especially toward those in need.

And... I am privileged to do this through the field of Physics and Mathematics.
