TEACHING



Turret Window Arch, Utah (07/2019)

"The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows" - Sydney J. Harris 

A piece of paper taped to the door of my closet and a pen were all that I used in my quest to explain basic algebra to my two-person “class” while playing the role of a teacher in middle school. Although my siblings took this as a pastime, that role has always been a cherished ambition for me. Nowadays, I seize every opportunity to put this passion into action and witness the diversity of students' growth and learning. I adopt a variety of pedagogies and focus on evoking an emotional connection between the students and the learning objectives rather than just an abstract and mechanical involvement. In all of my classes, I seek and provide continuous feedback and I incorporate concrete examples, hands-on live demonstrations, live polls, among other.
