Saniya - your physics tutor

Being born in a family where both my parents were teachers and educators were always highly respected , I had a passion for teaching since a young age. I have taught students right from middle school to college level and enjoyed every single stage equally. The feeling of fulfilment at the end of each day and the joy and tears that the final results bring along are some of the happiest memories. I have always been fond of all my students and having worked in Dubai taught me to value every child equally and understand the emotions behind each type of behaviour. My students have always been respectful and have achieved high results, staying in touch with me long after leaving school. I have currently embarked on a journey to pursue a PhD in education as I feel, with further research a lot of the gaps, that keep students from reaching their full potential can be filled. I have find memories of my high school teaching days and miss teaching Physics. Hence I look forward to this opportunity of getting back into tutoring.

Physics class snapshot

My teaching methodology is grounded in experiential learning and student-centered practice. I like to relate what I teach with real-world examples and applications to ensure better understanding. For classroom and in-person teaching I firmly believe in hands-on activities. While during my online teaching days (of COVID), I made up for this element using simulations in Physics such as PhetColorado, and Physics.io. I like scaffolding my lessons, to ensure concepts are well arranged. For assessments, I rely heavily on formative assessments using concept checking questions as well as instruction checking ones. Platforms such as Nearpod, KhanAcademy, and quizziz are excellent for in-between assessments and collaborative learning. I have used multiple educational platforms and found Nearpod to be the most effective for online teaching. I prefer that students even when learning online should have a collaborative space to work with their tutor.
