Teaching philosophy embodies a student-centered approach, prioritizing student-led experiences, small group instruction, and fostering independent learning. I believe in cultivating an environment where students take the reins of their education, encouraging autonomy and self-discovery. I emphasize the importance of independence, encouraging students to explore topics on their own, ask questions, and seek answers. This autonomy not only builds critical thinking skills but also instills a sense of responsibility for one's own education.
