My Summary
About Me
I am a passionate educator with over a decade of diverse teaching experience across the UK and India. With a strong academic background in Physics (M.Sc., Madras University) and ongoing PGCE training at the University of Cumbria, I specialise in making complex concepts in Science and Mathematics clear, engaging, and accessible to learners of all levels.
I have taught across a wide range of curricula, including Cambridge International (CAIE), IGCSE, A/AS Level, and UK-based GCSE Combined Sciences. My approach blends subject mastery with creative, student-centred methods such as project-based learning and real-life applications, helping students not only achieve academic success but also develop problem-solving and critical thinking skills.
My Experience
I have taught across both the UK and India, gaining wide-ranging experience with diverse student groups and curricula.
In the UK, I have worked with secondary school students (Years 9–10), teaching Science within the AQA Combined Sciences framework and supporting lessons in both Science and Mathematics. This role also involved training in Safeguarding, SEND, and Behaviour Management, strengthening my ability to create safe, supportive, and inclusive learning environments.
In India, I have taught Science, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and ICT across primary, lower secondary, and advanced levels (Grades 4–12). My experience includes preparing students for IGCSE, A/AS Level, and Cambridge International (CAIE) Checkpoint exams. I have also facilitated Project-Based Learning sessions, integrated STEM activities into the classroom, and guided students in developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, I adapted to online and blended learning, managing digital platforms and designing engaging remote lessons. I also supported students individually to bridge learning gaps, especially in Maths and Science.
This combination of UK and international teaching experience has equipped me with a flexible, student-centred approach, allowing me to tailor lessons to suit different abilities, learning styles, and academic goals.
