Asifa Tehseen came to teaching from the laboratory bench. A Biosciences graduate with research experience at a national health institute, she trained in microbiological technique, diagnostic testing and biosafety protocol before turning to full-time online instruction.
That background changes how she explains things. Practical procedures are described as she performed them, and results are discussed as data rather than as facts to memorise. She is a certified UNICEF Digital Educator, comfortable with the tools that keep an online lesson interactive, and has taught over 20,000 hours across 5 years. Nervous students tend to settle with her quickly, which is often the difference between a grade holding and a grade slipping.
