Philosophy of Teaching and Learning:

Nima Wangchuk is a lecturer at Gedu College of Business Studies, Royal University of Bhutan. He served in the Ministry of Education as a teacher for twelve years before joining the college in 2017. He had taught English Language and Writing, Reading & Literature in higher secondary Schools prior to the current occupation. He is a passionate teacher and keen researcher. As an educator, I strongly believe that children are distinctive with diverse abilities and learning styles and hence I seek to inspire them in all aspects of their lives by assisting them to develop their true and innate potentials.

I always believe in inclusive classroom with positive learning environment where each child feel welcomed, contented and secured. His research interests include teacher education and Teaching-Learning Pedagogies. He is also interested in the study of multiple intelligence and language efficacy in classrooms both at the school and university level. Besides teaching and research, he has participated in reviewing a number of modules for Bachelor in Business Administration (BBA), Bachelor in Commerce (BCOM) at Gedu College of Business, Royal University of Bhutan.
