Teaching Philosophy

I strongly believe that a great teacher not only disseminates knowledge to students but also makes impact on the future of students. Specifically, teaching is more than covering the key facts and concepts, but rather helping students to develop critical thinking and problem solving skills.

Teachers can play a pivotal role in helping students shape their decision on future career. Teaching and learning is a mutually inclusive process that requires both the enthusiasm from teachers and the efforts from students. A good teacher should have a solid background on the subject and the passion of teaching, which can encourage and motivate students to learn at their best. On the other hand, the teachers should create a stimulating environment for the students to develop their skills beyond what they can learn from textbooks and classroom. Specifically I will teach students with a focus on the following components: i) learning that fosters students’ curiosity with real-world phenomenon and exposes the students to the fundaments and concepts in the subject behind the examples; ii) training that delivers new concepts to students with a variety of tools and provides the students with the access to my expertise; iii) engaging that enables students to practice the knowledge with an ultimate goal to connect the students to their future career development.
