Teaching
Understanding is worth everything. I teach to help others pursue it.
The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding. (Proverbs 4:7, NIV)
I’ve served as a Teaching Assistant and MSG leader, focusing on clarity, confidence, and curiosity in computer science.

Teaching Philosophy
In my instruction, I value the following:
Casual depth
Come as you are—anyone can engage deeply. A relaxed tone lowers the barrier; depth comes from good questions.
Personalized learning
Meet learners where they are. When curiosity reaches beyond the syllabus, offer intuition and next steps.
Active classroom
Learning is social. I design sessions that prompt discussion, collaboration, and hands-on practice.
Clarity first
Start with intuition and examples, then layer abstraction. Concepts stick when they’re grounded.
Confidence building
Frequent low-stakes checks and visible progress help students trust themselves and keep momentum.
Curiosity-driven
Questions fuel learning. I model wonder, reward exploration, and encourage “why?” as much as “how?”.
Inclusive & accessible
All backgrounds and learning styles are welcome. Materials and pacing are designed to include everyone.
