Biography:

Persuade Nyandoro is an accomplished educator with over a decade of proven experience as a Physics lecturer and high school Physics teacher, showcasing exceptional communication, classroom management skills, and a passion for empowering students of varying abilities to achieve their full potential in Physics. I have invaluable experience gained through internship, teaching, lecturing, research, published textbooks, chapters in books and articles in preferred journals, review of local textbooks, participation in international conference, and collaboration with distinguished academics from around the world. These experiences have equipped me with a broad range of skills, knowledge, and expertise that I look forward to applying in my future endeavours. I continue to utilise my expertise, academic and professional experience to filter out the abstractness out of physics concepts for the student to devour.
