Teaching Philosophy


Aspiration

I aspire for students to develop a deep understanding rather than to perform rote learning: that provides the foundation for critical thinking.

Attitude

I strive to be kind and curious, to create an environment where students feel seen. I aim to offer sincere, constructive feedback as often as I can — positive when due, and honest when needed — grounded in the belief that students deserve to be taken seriously.

Expectation

I have high expectations of both myself and students: when both the instructor and students invest in thoughtful preparation and genuine discussions, learning becomes not just effective, but energizing and empowering.

Practice

Finally, I believe in practicing what I preach as an instructor in scientific methods. This means being honest about what I do and do not know, engaging with critical questions rather than deflecting with authority, and grounding teaching in argumentation and evidence.

It also means that when I inevitably fall short in these ideals, I try to do better next time.
