Teaching style
The foundation of my approach to teaching is based on high standards and rigorous assignments supported with well-structured classroom lessons. However, I counter balance this approach with heavy doses of comedy, gym, magic, and rock and roll.
I strive to help students bridge the gap between classroom lessons and how science works in the real world. Building relationships with students is a cornerstone of my teaching style. It's important for me to know the students beyond their achievement levels.
