Teaching style
I use a phased approach to teaching, which begins with direct instruction, then transitions into experiential and project-based learning once students have developed foundational skills and adequate content knowledge.

Additional biographical information
I began teaching after becoming fascinated with the process and philosophy of lesson design and how to structure a learning program to work towards optimal development. I have a keen interest in educational neuroscience and intend to pursue a PhD in this area.
