Teaching Philosophy

Mathematics is a language for reasoning and creativity. I encourage students to discover patterns and connections through guided exploration and real-world contexts. By building confidence in their own reasoning process, learners develop both critical thinking and a sense of achievement. This approach reflects the values of curiosity, equity and ako central to the New Zealand Curriculum.
