About Me
As a passionate educator and vocational lecturer with eight years of teaching experience, I am deeply committed to advancing students' academic and technical skills. My background includes both a Master’s and Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, along with professional experience as a Process Engineer. Currently, I serve as a vocational lecturer specializing in Mechanical Engineering with a focus on Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Technology, where I integrate theoretical knowledge with hands-on training to prepare students for the demands of the industry.
My diverse experience in education and engineering has equipped me with a unique ability to bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world application. I have successfully taught Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics at the high school level, helping students excel in their studies while making these subjects more relatable through practical examples. In addition to my teaching experience, my role as an engineer has allowed me to develop strong problem-solving skills, which I apply in both my teaching and my research.
As I continue to pursue my PhD in Mechanical Engineering, I am particularly interested in roles that allow me to combine my passion for teaching with my technical expertise. I am eager to contribute to an academic environment that values innovation, critical thinking, and hands-on learning. My goal is to inspire students to not only master the concepts but also to see how they can apply their knowledge in meaningful ways within the engineering field.
I look forward to bringing my unique blend of teaching experience and engineering insight to future opportunities where I can make a significant impact on both student development and academic excellence.
Teaching Method(s)
In teaching Physics and Chemistry, I emphasize the importance of conceptual understanding and real-world application. I use a variety of visual aids, such as diagrams, simulations, and models, to help students grasp complex ideas like atomic structure, forces, and chemical reactions. By relating these concepts to everyday situations, such as explaining Newton's Laws using common examples or discussing chemical reactions in cooking, I make the material more engaging and accessible.
Hands-on experimentation is central to my approach, allowing students to connect theory with practice. In Physics, I guide students through experiments on forces, motion, and electricity, while in Chemistry, we explore chemical reactions, properties of substances, and stoichiometry. These activities deepen students' understanding by providing practical, real-world experiences that reinforce theoretical concepts.
I also focus on developing students' problem-solving and critical thinking skills. Whether it's balancing chemical equations or solving motion problems, I teach students structured methods to break down complex problems. I foster an interactive environment where questions and discussions are encouraged, allowing students to explore the "why" behind the phenomena they study, ensuring a deeper and more thorough comprehension.
