I am a mathematics educator with more than 10 years experience teaching at the Higher education sector. My current research focus on effective pedagogies for both primary and secondary school mathematics, with interests in inquiry-based learning, cognitive psychology, developing conceptual mathematical understanding, mathematics assessment strategies, students' engagement strategies, developing numeracy abilities in students, life-long learning and developing mathematics curriculum. I am passionate about students' experiences at all levels and ways to achieve perfect learning in mathematics.
