STATE RANKS: 16th in Chemistry
DEGREE: UNSW Bachelor of Medical Studies / Doctor of Medicine
GRADUATED: 2017 JRAHS

My aim is to always foster an environment that encourages active participation from students. Although didactic teaching always has its place - engaging in classroom discussion and re-evaluating (or re-enforcing) one's own understanding through asking questions, is the best way to learn!

Jane Liu

Chemistry Teacher

ATAR: 99.85
DEGREE: UNSW Bachelor of Medical Studies / Doctor of Medicine
GRADUATED: 2018 MLC

Nikki Fang

Chemistry Teacher

ATAR: 99.90
STATE RANKS: 4th in Extension 2 Maths
DEGREE: UNSW Bachelor of Engineering (Hons.) / Bachelor of Computer Science
GRADUATED: 2019 SGHS Dux

I think one of the best ways for students to learn is if they can connect the theory to real life examples so I often try to spice up the content by throwing in some interesting applications and fun analogies. It’s always so exciting to see when students are mind-blown by the extent at which chemistry can be integrated into our everyday lives.
