lol

yeah he is the author of Jacaranda Chemistry. But that does not necessarily mean that he is a good teacher or tutor.

Teaching involves communication which is an important skill that is required of teacher to pass on his/her expertise on to the student. Without it, even the most intellectual one cannot properly teach the kids.

Haha rate my teacher: The people say~
Geoffrey Thickett (retired) Science 19 Rates Average 4.9/5

I personally think he is dull but straight to the facts. From what ive heard, his tutoring methods aren't as good as his class teaching. Maybe comes with old aye?

his text book is very long winded and off topic...doubt he'd make a good teacher if he teaches that way
