Teaching and Teaching Recognitions
Teaching mathematics is more than just imparting knowledge for me; it’s about fostering a deep understanding, building confidence, and inspiring a love for learning. As a teacher, I’m committed to creating inclusive and engaging learning environments that empower students to succeed. My teaching philosophy revolves around three key principles: fostering connections, promoting understanding, and embracing diversity.
