Teaching Style:
I emphasize critical thinking. I believe students learn more when
asked to engage in critical thinking and problem solving and the
role of an effective teacher is to empower students to take
responsibility in their learning. Teaching is empowering students to
become self-reliant, inspiring courage to grow intellectually and
cultivating curiosity. I use real life examples of the topic being
discussed, and create test questions based on them.
