Physics, chemistry, technical drawing, electrical engineering and computer science tutor
I have never wanted to be a teacher. But I couldn’t keep that at all. As an external teacher of technical and science subjects, I actually constantly dabble in the craft of real teachers. Otherwise, I mainly focus on applied research in the fields of physical chemistry and electronics. Why did I choose School Populo? Because I want to be a peer counsellor to students, not a beadle, desperately trying to maintain discipline in a classroom full of people. People who don’t care what I tell them, don’t care what I show them in the lab…. who have minimal interest in any educational activities and creative activities. I know that I can make a lesson attractive and unconventional. Then I feel even more disappointed when I see students waiting desperately for the bell to ring and for their escape deep into the big city. School Populo is unique in this – almost everyone who comes is interested in leaving with something inside their minds.
