Teaching Philosophy & Focus

Empowering my students to reach their goals by fostering their confidence in their ability is the primary focus of my teaching career. Throughout my teaching career, I encourage my students with the “we can do it” philosophy by incorporating a variety of collaborative learning approaches. Student participation in discussions is paramount to my teaching philosophy and therefore I followed a flipped classroom model to encourage my students to actively engage with the classroom materials, myself, and each other. I believe this hinges on my ability to create a safe and comfortable environment where all students know their ideas are heard and valued.
