Teaching Philosophy:

I have had the pleasure of learning from many excellent teachers. Looking back at the truly exceptional ones, I see that their style, techniques, and personalities span a wide spectrum. However, they have one commonality: the passion to instill the joy of learning in their students, to prepare them to excel in their future endeavors. I humbly aspire to this ideal.

Informed by my experiences, I strive to:

• Create an engaging learning environment.
• Enable accomplishment and discovery.
• Support learning through mentoring.
