VANESSA As inquisitive as a young child, teaching science is particularly intriguing to me as I believe science helps to enrich our daily interactions with the world around us, especially children at a growing stage of never-ending curiosity when so many of today's current events are rooted in sciences. I am always eager to bring children into a horizon of discovery, engaging them in active learning from our wide range of enriching topics. Imaginations always run beyond the boundary of the classroom with students engaged in hands-on experiments. Their intelligence, their wits, sometimes even astonishes an adult. I am dedicated to enthusiastic teaching as a means of creating and nurturing a lifelong love of knowledge in children.
