Teaching Philosophy

I believe in providing the best environment for students to learn and grow in. I like to utilize a variety of teaching methods to accommodate the diverse needs of my students. I believe my role is to facilitate learning while encouraging self-directed learning from my students. Our students are the future and I believe they should be prepared to be strong leaders, managers, workers, family members and supporters of their communities and countries.
