Biochemistry graduate sharing biology-related experience and knowledge in Selangor via online learning

Methodology

My teaching method will be mainly based on online sharing and discussion. The theory lesson will be related to the available examples and the real-life experience I have had gone through. My targeted students are those from SPM and STPM (or equivalent) leavers, diploma, foundation, and primary degree who are interested in knowing more and actively discussing the knowledge and current topics in the field. Despite the heavy loads of assignment in school/college/university, the one-way delivery of knowledge would not be applicable and discussion on opinions is preferred. Such discussion enables critical thinking and the curiosity will lead to better comprehension of the subject.

Experience

I graduated from the Biochemistry programme with a first-class result. I am currently pursuing my doctoral studies in the field of Molecular Biotechnology. I have the experience of conducting laboratory work while completing my bachelor dissertation in UPM and internship at the Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology (IMCB), A*STAR, Singapore. Despite the major of biochemistry, my field of study extends to molecular biology, microbiology, structural biology, and biotechnology.
