Teaching Philosophy
Teaching, for me, is about more than just delivering content—it’s about engaging students from all backgrounds and helping them see the relevance of statistics in their lives. Whether my students come from business, engineering, or the arts, my goal is to make my courses approachable, interactive, and meaningful. I focus on real-world applications, personalized feedback, and incorporating dynamic multimedia resources to ensure that students can connect the numbers to the world around them.
I believe every student, regardless of their academic background, has the potential to grasp and apply complex quantitative concepts. My teaching philosophy revolves around creating a learning environment that not only challenges students but also inspires them to think critically and draw connections across various disciplines. With my background in art, physics, and statistics, I strive to make abstract ideas tangible and relatable for students, whether they’re studying business, science, or the humanities.
Recognizing that statistics can be an intimidating subject, I focus on innovative methods to demystify it. By integrating real-world examples, multimedia resources, and interactive discussions, I foster deeper engagement and understanding. To me, learning is a dynamic process, and I continually adapt my teaching to meet the evolving needs of my students, both in the classroom and online.
