I am a Science teacher with an experience of 20years in the secondary level. I am willing to offer online private tuitions to groups of students. I love teaching and do it with utmost care. Presently I teach in Delhi Public School Rubypark and is there for last 13 years.

I believe that rather than have students memorize definitions and facts about a science topic such as light, an effective first grade teacher today would have students investigate various types of objects under sunlight and flashlight. Students would collect evidence to understand how light helps them see, and they’d experiment with different materials to understand how and why shadows are made.

This shift is a result of the Next Generation Science Standards, which aim to define a uniform vision for K-12 science education across the country.

As a science education researcher and a teacher educator, my goal is to help prepare the next generation of science teachers. Here are five attributes of an effective elementary school science teacher that align with the new standards.
