Mennatullah
Chemistry Educator | 5+ Years of Experience 🏆 | Expert in International & Local Curricula 🌍 | Nanoengineering Researcher 🇪🇬As a chemistry teacher, I focus on using modern teaching methods that enhance the role of the student as an active element in the educational process. Since chemistry is a logical scientific branch, I use induction and deduction methods, in addition to brainstorming, and I make sure to include dialogue and discussion during lessons.
As a researcher in nanoscience, I seek to develop students' creative and critical analysis skills, which helps them form their own opinions and ideas. I believe in the slogan of Egyptian scientists: “Because every mind makes a difference.”
I also work to motivate students internally by stimulating the spirit of competition through educational competitions, games, oral and written tests, as well as practical experiments. I cannot ignore the fun side of chemistry, which is practical experiments. I make sure to apply these experiments as a researcher, whether through live explanation online or by preparing explanatory videos, whether produced by me or from reliable sources such as YouTube.
