Teaching Philosophy
Student-Centered Learning
I believe in adapting teaching methods to individual student needs, creating inclusive environments where everyone can succeed regardless of their background or prior experience.
Collaborative Growth
Learning happens best in communities. I focus on building supportive networks where students can learn from each other and grow together.
Practical Application
Theory matters most when applied. I emphasize projects and real-world applications to help students connect concepts to practical skills.
