Currently I am on a fully funded scholarship from Adelaide University for my PhD,

I am a tutor for Engineering Modelling 2 in the School of Engineering and an online lecturer for Body in Motion I and II in the School of Allied Health and Human Performance at Adelaide University. 
Since the beginning of my university studies, I have been actively involved in tutoring and teaching students across a broad range of disciplines, from high school Mathematics and Physics to university-level subjects including Biomechanics, Fluid Mechanics, Biochemistry, Biomaterials, Electronics, and Applied Mathematics.
