Teaching

My teaching philosophy emphasizes openness and transparency with students, small-group discussions, and frequent constructive feedback. I believe that making students engage with the subject matter in small groups under the direction of a teacher who can clear up misconceptions and ensure civility provides students with useful skills for later in life. In especially demanding classes, I provide opportunities for face-to-face interactions with the students so that I can tailor the instruction to the interests and talents of the individual.
