About Me

My personal philosophy on teaching and learning is founded around my cumulative experiences as a student, instructor, mentor and researcher. Having been an active participant from both sides of the classroom, in university settings, I know that successful learning is synonymous with long term retention, which in-turn facilitates the ability to apply knowledge and think laterally when the opportune moment presents itself in the real-world. To truly learn is to discover knowledge through experience and lots of practice which invokes the confidence to overcome challenges while simultaneously lifting inhibitions in regard to tackling new problems. To facilitate such an experience within a classroom environment is especially possible in subjects like mathematics and the physical sciences, by facilitating a working knowledge of contemporary issues in the science through articulation of real-world examples and providing opportunity for hands-on problem solving through exercises. Scientists, leaders and instructors effectively teach when they simultaneously impart information and nurture an environment that offers students the opportunity to discover a new subject while maintaining a channel for continuous closed-loop feedback, to ensure that the pace of subject-matter delivery and the student-specific rate of retention are in step. My teaching style is a literal embodiment of the above statements.
