My undergraduate major is in chemistry education, which provides me fundamental pedagogical principles to engage and guide my future teaching practice in undergrad levels. For classroom teaching, my goals are not only to give clear and insightful lectures, but also to motivate students' enthusiasm and encourage discussion and interaction in the lectures. This provides students the skills in communication, critical thinking and problem-solving, which are necessary training to pursue future professional careers. For mentoring student research, my goal is to guide them in research lab and motivate the students to give their best efforts. As students come in with different background and interests, I will provide them with the freedom to explore and to think about problems in new ways. In the mean time, I will also actively engage in their projects and guide students' discoveries. The value of research advising is so rewarding because we continue generating new ideas during the discovery process and push forward the research.
I have gained valuable experience as a chemistry teacher in Nigeria, before i relocated to the UK.

I am hard-working, precise and a very patient chemistry teacher. At the same time I have a creative approach to science and enjoy making leaps of thought to solve problems and find new patterns.
