I have a total of 10 years of teaching experiences. Half the time, I was in Raffles Institution (Junior College and Secondary) teaching H2 Physics (A-Level). There is a year where I was asked to support the RI Secondary school IP at Sec 3 which I given 6 classes of Sec 3 immediately with almost 180 students while holding my role as an Assistant Department Head at the same time in JC. Therefore, I am very familiar with the challenges IP students have while in Secondary and JC, especially the preparation and bridging required when they progress to from one to the other.
The 2nd half of my teaching experience was in Catholic High Secondary School (CHS) as a Head of Department. In CHS, I taught Upper Sec O-Level Physics preparing students for the rigorous and challenging O-Level Physics. Subsequently I expand to teaching IP students when the IP programme started in 2013.
All in all, I have guided both IP and O-level students in their secondary school and JC years, preparing them ahead for JC and also bridging them into the JC curriculum.
