In my lessons, I strive to create an engaging and interactive learning environment where students feel encouraged to ask questions, explore ideas, and think critically. I primarily use a combination of short lectures, visual presentations, group discussions, and hands-on activities, depending on the topic and level of the class. For theoretical subjects, I begin with clear explanations supported by diagrams or animations to simplify complex concepts. I often use real-world examples or case studies to make lessons more relatable and to bridge theory with practice.

In more practical sessions, such as those related to molecular techniques or bioinformatics, I include step-by-step demonstrations and encourage students to work independently or in pairs to analyze data, run software tools, or interpret results. I also integrate quizzes, short writing tasks, or quick presentations to reinforce learning and assess understanding in a friendly, low-pressure way.

With a PhD in Zoology and extensive experience in molecular immunology and DNA barcoding, I bring both depth and clarity to my teaching. I aim to guide students beyond textbook knowledge—helping them develop scientific thinking, technical skills, and a curiosity-driven approach to learning. I also emphasize the importance of scientific communication and critical reading of literature.

Overall, my classes are student-centered, designed to adapt to different learning styles, and built to inspire confidence and independence in every learner. Whether in person or online, I ensure my lessons are well-structured, interactive, and intellectually stimulating.
