Teaching Philosophy:

I have had the pleasure of learning from a number of 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. This is the ideal I aspire to.

To this end I strive for the following three principles:

  • Establishing an engaging environment where learning is central.
  • Providing learning experiences that give a sense of accomplishment and discovery.
  • Supporting students so that they can focus on learning.
