Please ask if you would like to see a summary of my teaching reviews from UNC.
I love being able to awaken students' passion and curiosity - I truly believe that good teaching can make any subject accessible and enjoyable to motivated students. For this reason, I tailor my approach to an individual student's learning style, and focus on hands-on interactive techniques and activities rather than lectures or rote learning. Each student brings a unique perspective to their work, and I believe I learn just as much from working with them as they do from working with me.
