Education

I'm a mathematics and physics teacher (M.Sc.), builder of digital learning solutions, and a translator of science books (English to Finnish). As a teacher I am innovative, empowering and student centered. My key ideas in a nutshell are flipped, social and mastery based learning. Nurturing students' ownership of their learning is key in facilitating an intrinsic motivation to learn.
