Bio

My educational philosophy:

 

I believe all students are capable of learning. They all do not learn at the same rate, but with different methods and strategies, it is possible. Students should not be thought of as mindless individuals just waiting to be filled with knowledge by their teachers. 

​

Quite the opposite; students should be viewed as individuals who can contribute to the classroom, sharing and gaining knowledge from each other. Students need guidance and not just lectures only. Education is not solely academic; the teacher must also educate his students mentally by teaching them the skills needed to solve problems and socially by teaching them the skills needed to communicate and work productively with others.
