How I can help
Specialized in designing & tailoring lessons to enhance your learning, build your confidence, improve knowledge retention, and expand your problem solving & critical analysis skills.
Teaching Philosophy
The most important job for an educator is to create and nurture an energetic and safe environment, where critical thinking is fostered, and students can learn and engage with the material and receive appropriate challenges to grow academically.
Methodology
Using effective teaching methods and one-on-one time with students, I can assist students in making contributions in their respective fields of interest, and expressing their research ideas and theories effectively.
Course Design
I design my courses for students to get the most out of their time spent earning their degree or continuing their education, produce their own exceptional scholarly work, and learn best practices for ensuring a successful career after graduation.
