Teaching Experience
Overview
Teaching Experience
Over nine years of teaching experience across 13 universities in 4 countries.
Taught various courses in physics, mechanics, and energy.
Recently served as an academic tutor at the University of Manchester, supervising MPhys projects in 2023-2024.
Previously, I accumulated over five years of teaching experience as an assistant professor between 2015 and 2020.
Participated in numerous training courses on modern teaching methodologies.
Managed and evaluated quality assurance programs.
Developed course descriptions and program plans for academic curricula.
Developed widely used lecture notes and teaching resources, with ∼200k ResearchGate reads and thousands of visitors to my personal websites.
Supervised and evaluated multiple graduation projects.
Organized several workshops and forums to engage and support students.
Two years of high school teaching experience.
As an educator with over five years of experience as an assistant professor, along with additional years as a lecturer, tutor, lab instructor, and secondary school teacher across various institutions and countries, I have developed a teaching philosophy rooted in engagement, collaboration, and adaptability. Teaching is not simply the transfer of knowledge but a dynamic journey where both students and educators grow together.
