About Me
"Hi, I am Nur. My teaching experience started when I used to assist my mother in teaching the Quran and Iqra’ to adults and children in the neighborhood during my free time, from high school up until my university years. I also taught the Quran to adult, Iqra’, and several primary school subjects to children at private homes for a few months after completing my bachelor's degree. However, in line with what I studied at university, biology is my primary subject, which I can teach, including microbiology as an additional subject. I recently earned a PhD in Food Science, focusing on a red pigment from Methylobacterium sp. (isolated from Melicope lunu-ankenda, a traditional Malaysian salad) with the potential as a natural food colouring for beef. I also hold a master’s in Bioscience, where I researched antibacterial enhancements to kaolinite clay using silver and surfactants, achieving strong antibacterial effects against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. My undergraduate studies in pure Biology covered a wide range of subjects, including biological diversity, biochemistry, ecology, physiology, cell biology, microbiology, parasitology, and genetics. Currently, I am a part-time lecturer teaching general biology for practical sessions at UTHM Pagoh. Conducting research is one of my skills. One of my proudest achievements is seeing children who learned Iqra’ progress to reading the Quran proficiently and witnessing students at UTHM Pagoh understand and successfully perform their practical sessions."
Teaching Method(s)
The teaching techniques I like to apply include using diagrams, mind maps, flowcharts, and sketches. I also enjoy two-way discussions to ensure mutual understanding in the delivery and reception of knowledge, including asking questions. I am confident that the teaching techniques mentioned above can help students master the subject being taught.
