My Teaching Philosophy
I teach chemistry because I want to share the excitement of understanding our natural world through scientific lenses. I believe that each student naturally and uniquely interacts to new learning opportunities while achieving knowledge. To help you acquire knowledge, I will create hands-on experiences that supplement your traditional classroom experience. I will facilitate interactive classroom discussions that challenge you to think about life experiences that are demonstrations of the chemical concepts that we learn. I will teach you how to learn by doing because I want to show you that chemistry is engaging, exciting, and achievable.
