Teaching Philosophy

My teaching philosophy is rooted in the belief that education should be a transformative and empowering experience for students. I strive to create a learner-centered environment that fosters curiosity, critical thinking, and a lifelong love of learning. I believe in nurturing a sense of belonging and inclusivity, valuing diversity, and creating a safe space for students to express themselves. I aim to be a facilitator of knowledge, guiding students in their exploration of concepts and encouraging them to take ownership of their learning. I integrate real-world applications, experiential learning, and technology to enhance student engagement and relevance. I believe in fostering collaboration, communication, and problem-solving skills, equipping students with the tools they need to succeed in an ever-changing world. Ultimately, my goal is to inspire students to become lifelong learners who are confident, compassionate, and capable of making positive contributions to society.

Outside Interests

I like cooking and learning about recipes from different parts of the world. I like playing my guitar and going to the movies with my family.
