Teaching
My teaching philosophy is formed with the belief that care and support enhance learning experience and outcomes both academically and personally. I prioritize care in all aspects of my teaching, and will keep doing so to fully grow students’ potential and confidence and help them succeed both in and beyond the classroom.
