Teaching Philosophy: Teaching gives me an opportunity to make a difference in students' lives. What I enjoy most about teaching is seeing my students grow intellectually while developing a higher level of self esteem, self-confidence and self-actualization.
Inspiration: Life is what you make of it. I subscribe to the teaching philosophy of making students active participants rather than passive recipients of classroom instruction.
