Sukhvir Dhodi - 7th Gr Science
Hello! My name is Dr. Dhodi and I will be your Life Science teacher this school year. This is my 8th year at Porter and I have enjoyed myself every minute of it because of the wonderful atmosphere created by you, your parents and the school itself to build a loving and caring Porter family that I am so blessed to be a part of. I previously taught Biology and Chemistry at various levels including college for more than 18 years after earning my Ph.D in Entomology. I speak Hindi,Punjabi and Urdu fluently and can understand Bangla quite well.
I love teaching students how to learn and apply Science in their everyday lives, whether it be while riding a bike, playing a video game, developing an app, observing a bug, watching a meteor shower,going places, climbing a tree, growing veggies in the backyard or catching Pokemon on the Pokemon Go app.
I also love to share my treasure of stories of my global experience, my adorable family overseas and especially how people in the other parts of the world lead their lives.
