Every choice I make as an instructor is rooted in the belief that each student is unique, with their own strengths, tastes, and learning styles. My first goal when meeting a new student is to understand them as both a thinker and a person, in order to help them achieve their best. I aim to guide students in realizing their individual potential rather than fitting them into any predefined mold.
My teaching is driven by questions, encouraging students to share their perspectives and opinions. I believe that this Socratic approach helps students develop their academic identity, think through complex ideas, and find solutions independently.
I also strive to instill a love for learning in my students. I believe learning should be about more than just passing tests or gaining university admission. I believe the aim should be to show students the urgent relevance of their studies to their lives and inspire them with a sense of intellectual curiosity and adventure.
