Teaching Philosophy
My teaching philosophy is rooted in the belief that every student has the potential to succeed and deserves an engaging and supportive learning environment. I strive to cultivate a classroom atmosphere that fosters curiosity, critical thinking, and a passion for lifelong learning. Central to my approach is the principle of student-centred education, where I tailor my teaching methods to accommodate diverse learning styles and backgrounds. I aim to inspire my students by connecting course content to real-world applications, encouraging active participation, and providing constructive feedback to facilitate their academic and personal growth. Through mentorship and a commitment to academic excellence, I aim to empower students to become independent thinkers and problem-solvers, equipping them with the skills and knowledge necessary for succeed in life.
