"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.

Some quotes from my students:
"He is honestly the best professor I have had here at Berkeley not only because of his successful teaching style but his ability to care for each and every single one of his students." CE 93 student, Spring 2023 (UC Berkeley)
"Very accessible during class and during office hours. He makes them very personal and clearly cares about his students. He knows everyone’s name and definitely makes a connection with everyone." CE 93 student, Spring 2023 (UC Berkeley)
"Awesome professor! It seemed like he'd been teaching for years, despite it being his first semester. Very understanding and delivered the material perfectly." CE 93 student, Spring 2023 (UC Berkeley)
"He does very well with interactive lectures. I feel like this is the only class I actually kept up with and fully understood the material in and that is thanks to the very easily digestible lecture and great professor." CE 93 student, Spring 2023 (UC Berkeley)
"Mohamad truly facilitates learning instead of spoon-feeding answers which I appreciate." CE 360K student, Spring 2022 (UT Austin)
