My teaching strategy is stood upon four pillars "Observing", "Understanding", "Applying" and "Contemplating". I strive to guide my students in the direction of becoming avid observers of Nature, understanding the physical phenomena occurring around them, applying their knowledge to solve challenging problems and contemplating beyond the known. This strategy definitely has helped thousands of my students pursue in their STEM careers with great confidence. More importantly they have all loved what they are doing.
