Teaching

My teaching philosophy centers on creating an inclusive, engaging, and collaborative learning environment where every student feels valued and empowered. I believe that education is most effective when it reflects diverse perspectives and fosters active participation. From the first day of class, I work with students to establish a respectful and dynamic classroom culture, promoting a sense of ownership over the learning process.

I emphasize the use of accessible and affordable course materials, integrating resources that minimize costs, such as open-access texts and digital resources. My approach includes active learning techniques, such as student-led discussions and collaborative projects, which encourage deeper engagement with the course material. I also prioritize real-world applications, helping students connect theoretical concepts to practical situations.

By focusing on inclusivity, I aim to ensure that all students, regardless of their background or identity, have the opportunity to excel. I continuously seek to adapt and refine my teaching methods, incorporating student feedback to enhance the learning experience. Ultimately, my goal is to support each student's academic journey and personal growth, preparing them to succeed both in and out of the classroom.
