Sunita Singh

Short Bio

Sunita Singh is a dedicated Physics educator, STEM mentor, and lifelong learner with over 15 years of experience in teaching and academic enrichment across leading schools in New Delhi. Currently serving as a TGT Science (Physics) teacher at Basava International School, Dwarka, she is deeply committed to fostering conceptual understanding and scientific curiosity among students of Classes IX and X. Holding a Master's degree in Physics from Jamia Millia Islamia and a Bachelor of Education in Physical Science and Mathematics, Sunita combines strong academic grounding with innovative pedagogy. Her teaching philosophy centers on inquiry-based learning, hands-on experimentation, and real-world application of scientific concepts, encouraging students to move beyond rote learning toward deeper understanding. As the STEM and Space Club Coordinator, she has led a wide range of student-driven initiatives, including exhibitions and workshops. Under her mentorship, students have demonstrated remarkable innovation, with one project being selected among the top 1000 entries at the national level in the Atal Tinkering Lab initiative. In recognition of her commitment to excellence in science education, Sunita has been selected for the International High School Teacher Programme 2026 at CERN, Geneva.

Extended Bio

Sunita Singh believes that physics is not a collection of formulas to be memorized — it is a way of understanding the universe, and every student deserves to experience that wonder. She is a Physics educator with over 15 years of experience across leading schools in New Delhi, and she currently teaches TGT Science (Physics) at Basava International School, Dwarka, where she works with students in Classes IX and X.Her academic foundation is strong: a Master's degree in Physics from Jamia Millia Islamia and a Bachelor of Education in Physical Science and Mathematics. But what truly defines her teaching is her commitment to inquiry-based learning. She designs her classrooms around questions, experiments, and real-world applications — pushing students to think critically rather than memorize mechanically. She has also taught senior secondary Physics and mentored students for competitive examinations including SAT, NDA, and SSC.As the STEM and Space Club Coordinator at her school, Sunita has led numerous student-driven initiatives, including exhibitions and workshops that spark curiosity and innovation. One of her mentored projects was selected among the top 1000 entries at the national level in the Atal Tinkering Lab initiative — a testament to the quality of guidance she provides. She actively works to nurture 21st-century skills such as critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity in every student she teaches.Sunita is also a lifelong learner herself. She has completed advanced certification courses from prestigious institutions including IIT Kanpur (relativity), Stanford University (semiconductor physics), and Duke University (statistics and machine learning). She has participated in national-level programs conducted by ISRO, HBCSE (TIFR), and CSIR-NAL. Her pursuit of knowledge never stops, and she brings the same enthusiasm for learning into her own professional development that she inspires in her students.Her dedication to science education has earned her a place in the International High School Teacher Programme 2026 at CERN, Geneva — one of the most prestigious honors a science educator can receive. This program will bring her to the forefront of particle physics research, where she will learn alongside scientists and educators from around the world, bringing that experience back to her classroom.As an author for ENTECH Magazine, Sunita writes for the science teacher looking for innovative pedagogical strategies, the STEM coordinator seeking ideas for student projects, the educator committed to continuous professional development, and anyone who believes that great teaching can change how students see the world.
