ABOUT

Teaching

I believe teaching, like any meaningful relationship, thrives on mutual respect, curiosity, empathy, understanding, and a shared commitment to learning and creating new experiences. To foster a climate that promotes optimal learning, the learner needs to feel respected and valued as a contributing member of this relationship. To this end, my approach to teaching includes a deep level of respect and appreciation for the diverse backgrounds and experiences students bring to the classroom.
