Teaching Style
I have received systematical training in science learning and teaching. After several years’ hands on experience, I got a series of unique methods and tricks against problem solving. Besides, I would like to share with my students the way leads to effective and efficient study which enabled many kids find out the beauty of science. Also, I value the importance of exploring the unknown world and asking questions. I wish to help students understand the essence of studying and get real experience of how scientists do the research, just like Albert Einstein has said, “The value of an education is not the learning of many facts, but the training of the mind to think of something that cannot be learned from textbooks.”
