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. My role as a TA involves my assistance in class, and my role as an MSG Leader involves holding two two-hour sessions where students can attend and work on lab assignments or homework for the class, with my assistance.

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, and 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.
