15 years ago had someone had told me that I would be teaching mathematics and pursuing it as a profession I would never have believed it. Yet here I am teaching various courses of mathematics along with other course in the field of mechanical engineering. If you want to know how, when and why it all happened then please read on.
In my pre university days I have worked as a butcher’s assistant, a locksmith’s assistant and a chef’s assistant. Then I got “promoted” and work as a photocopying machine technician for half a year.
And then the miracle happened!
I decided to join the Technikon Witwatersrand to pursue my studies. I found a job as a workshop foreman after completing my education in mechanical engineering and I was working for the South African government. During that time an opportunity arose when my employer had to conduct basic adult education courses for the rural populace. I volunteered to teach basic arithmetic and numeracy skills along with some other technical courses and, as the cliché goes, have never looked back.
In 2006 I applied for a position at the Higher Colleges of Technology and joined their Dubai campus in July 2007. Since then it’s been four years and I have taught mathematics courses ranging from complex engineering mathematics to basic foundation maths. In between I have also taught some hands on practical courses for the Mechatronics students too.
On a personal front I am blessed with two lovely kids and an even lovelier wife. I love cooking, reading books especially on conspiracy theories and playing social squash.
