About me
In the last 5 years, I’ve dedicated my career to teaching mathematics and business studies. Throughout this time, I’ve made a concerted effort to continually refine my teaching abilities by actively participating in various professional development opportunities, such as seminars, workshops, and online training courses. I firmly believe that in order to effectively connect with and educate 21st-century students, it’s essential to continually adopt and incorporate new teaching methodologies that are best suited to their learning styles.
As an educator, I take great pride in serving as a positive role model for my students, recognizing that they often emulate the behaviors and habits of their teachers. I consistently strive to foster an environment of creativity and innovation, constantly brainstorming new strategies to keep my students engaged and motivated. Moreover, I firmly believe in empowering my students by placing the responsibility for their learning squarely in their hands.
