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 Mentored Study Group (MSG) leader, focusing on clarity, confidence, and curiosity in computer science education. As a TA, I support students during class through debugging assistance, conceptual guidance, and discussion. As an MSG leader, I facilitate collaborative review sessions where students work through labs, assignments, and course concepts in an approachable and supportive environment.
Teaching Philosophy
Much of my teaching philosophy centers on what I think of as casual depth: the belief that profound learning does not require rigidity, performance, or intimidation. Some of the most formative intellectual experiences emerge through relaxed conversation, curiosity, and the freedom to explore ideas openly.
Casual depth
Come as you are. Profound learning emerges through relaxed curiosity.
Clarity first
Intuition and examples before abstraction. Concepts stick when grounded.
Curiosity-driven
Questions fuel learning. I reward exploration and model wonder.
Personalized
Meet learners where they are. When curiosity reaches the syllabus edge, offer intuition and next steps.
Active classroom
Learning is social. Sessions prompt discussion, collaboration, and hands-on practice.
Confidence building
Low-stakes checks and visible progress help students trust themselves.
Inclusive & accessible
Questions are welcomed, support is accessible, curiosity grows without fear.
