Teaching Philosophy

My teaching experiences have helped me develop a teaching philosophy which is rooted in the idea that every student has the potential to succeed if the instruction and materials are clearly presented in a way that is appealing, and an enabling environment for learning is created. My overall teaching goal is to help my students internalize mathematical concepts and apply them in the classroom and to life outside of the classroom.

In the classroom, I always like to engage my students through teaching techniques such as cooperative learning, think-pair-sharing, group learning activites  e.t.c. Here are some pictures from previous classes.
