My philosophy is that our world needs educated people and my contribution to that is teaching physics.

About Me

My passion in physics started during secondary school when I was questioning everything I could observe around me. My teacher helped me to understand the basics of physics and my curiosity led me to graduate physics at university, specialized on optoelectronics, renewable energy and physics of condensed matter. During an educational trip to CERN at Geneva, I saw the wow experience on the students’ faces. What made me even happier was the conversation I had with them later, telling me about the importance of science in our life as well as their passion to further study about it.

My Experience

After graduating in 2011 with a Master’s degree in Applied Physics, I moved to the UK to work in the private sector. A few years later I decided to go back to teaching which is something I love to do. For the last three years, I have been working at the Langley Grammar School where I was given the opportunity to stretch and challenge students aiming Oxbridge University for their future. I consider teaching a rewarding occupation. That reward comes when I see my students’ progress.
