My Methodology
My approach to teaching chemistry is anything but ordinary. I don’t just throw formulas and facts at students—I teach them to think like chemists. Instead of relying on memorization, I challenge students to break down complex ideas, ask why things happen, and connect concepts logically.
I encourage curiosity, pushing students to analyze patterns, predict reactions, and approach problems with a critical mind. When students say, “I don’t know how to do this." or ask "How to do this question?" I don’t just give them the answer—I guide them through the reasoning so they can figure it out themselves and increase their confidence level.
I aspire to make chemistry engaging, thought-provoking, and even a little fun.
